Harm

Harm can be defined as causing physical or psychological/emotional damage or injury to a person, animal or other entity.

It is generally believed that humans, in addition to other sentient animal species, possess an innate aversion to harm.

Most people (albeit not everybody) tend to view harm as the 'barometer' of determining whether an action should be considered moral or immoral.
