An action is immoral if it limits the freedom of or in some way harms, others.

If it doesn't, it isn't.
 
I don't know why the OP did not allow us to select more then one option? Maybe he does not know how to do that.
 
I can't say I found suicide immoral. Not to mention, who gives a **** what you think of it, or what the punishment for it is, the guy is already dead!

As for cloning, well... It depends I would have to say.

Animal testing is a no-no, I'd rather death-row inmates be tossed in to that fray.

MY PERSONAL TOPICS

Surprised this one isn't in there, but I would say treason in MOST circumstances is absolutely immoral, in some cases? Nope.

Also, another thing I find immoral is the extremely over-the-top humane treatment of prisoners.

And here we are finally, the last thing I think is immoral is the skipping of due process, guilty before innocence. I've seen a lot of this now with Bowe Bergdahl coming into play.

Either my humour is too advanced, or I really should stop embarrassing myself.

Probably your humour is too advanced. Some humour does escape me with some people.

Nah. My jokes are ****. I do it to compensate for a tortured childhood.
 
All are moral to some degree depending on circomstance.
 
I feel sorry for anybody who has a problem with pornography. They will never experience the two to two and a half minutes of joy I feel three to five times a day, sometimes while logged on to this forum. Like right now.

Birth Control
Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Wearing Clothes with Animal Fur
Cloning Animals
Cloning Organs
Gun Ownership
Drug Use
Prostitution
Homophobia
Racism
Violent movies/video games

Feel free to add any other controversial topics you find immoral as well.

My personal opinions:
Abortion- Not inherently immoral, unless it is for reasons relating to the gender of the child and possibly late term abortions.
Death Penalty- State funded murder is immoral.
Doctor-Assisted Suicide- More immoral to ban it than it is itself.
Polygamy- Depends on the individual relationship. A polygamous relationship is not inherently immoral, but the average one often subjugates women.
Pornography- Amoral.
Homosexuality- Amoral.
Gambling- The practice of gambling itself is not immoral, but taking advantage of gambling addictions for profit can be immoral. It still should be legal though.
Suicide- Very sad, but someone is not immoral for attempting it.
Medical Testing on Animals- Depends on the conditions the animal is in. Unless it's for a life saving medicine, it is usually immoral.
Cloning Humans- Immoral.
Divorce- Amoral.
Sex before Marriage- Amoral.
Birth Control- Amoral.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research- Moral if it is for genuine medical research. Amoral otherwise.
Wearing Clothes with Animal Fur- Wearing it is not immoral, even though it is distasteful, but producing it is.
Cloning Animals- Eh, amoral I suppose, but I'm not 100% sure.
Cloning Organs- Moral if used for life saving purposes.
Gun Ownership- Amoral.
Drug Use- Amoral, although exposing people to second hand smoke can be immoral, especially if it's children who are exposed to it.
Prostitution- Provided everyone in the transaction is there willingly, amoral.
Homophobia- Immoral, but I'm not a fan of banning "hate speech."
Racism- See homophobia.
Violent Movies/Video Games- Amoral.
