Harm is 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 causing harm to others.

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

Many religions consider any harm to another person as a transgresion, or sin. For example, the wiccan rede (their primary spiritual law) states (modernized) "If it harms no one, do as you wish."
