the moral agents

Moral agents are individuals or entities capable of making ethical decisions and being held responsible for their actions. They possess the awareness, reasoning, and intentionality to distinguish right from wrong and to act accordingly. Essentially, moral agents can evaluate the consequences of their actions and are accountable for their choices, reflecting moral agency. This concept applies to humans and, in some cases, to organizations or entities with the capacity for ethical decision-making. Being a moral agent involves understanding moral principles and exercising free will to act in a morally responsible manner.
