Where did the punishment for killing and the law forbidding it stem from? The moral that killing is wrong. The society of the world has unfortunately lost sight of this, and now makes exceptions and other laws to contradict the laws that were originally placed. Now it has degraded so much that the number of laws only causes confusion and loopholes to the point that there no longer are really morals any longer. Even if people say so, and while it may somewhat exist among an individual level, as a whole, it disappeared a long time ago. Morals are more or less what define each person. It is what makes us unique. So it is important for people to have these in order to maintain or individualism. Now though, laws dictate actions more than morals, and while in some cases this is good, as I said before, there are so many contradictions in our world that laws are more or less useless on a grand scale when it gets right down to it. Morals are clear cut, and don't have loopholes. It either is or is not, very rarely is a maybe with it. Do you think killing is bad is one of the few exceptions. And also, if we still followed our morals instead of allowing the corrupt and morales people who abuse our societies, people going against there morals in order to survive, such as stealing, would more or less not exist. So yes morals are important. And society would advance going with morals, simply by going backwards. The same way it happened after the middle ages. So we would advance by making things more simple.
