Are men and women basically different? Yes, women channel saidar, men channel saidin.  That's just a stupid question.

Is it possible to change genders? Only in Milliways can you completely change from a man into a woman and vice verse, but there are medical procedures.

How old is old enough to have sex? I can't really answer that, probably when you're old enough to accept the consequences.  I know I probably should have waited a little longer, or at least been sober at the time.
Is it wrong to have sex if you're unmarried? No.
Is it wrong to have sex with someone other than your spouse if you're married? Yes.
Is it wrong to have sex with a person of the same gender? No, that attitude is so pre-millennium.  People love who they love.
Is it wrong to have sex with a person of a different race (or a different intelligent non-human species)? Again, no to the first part (seriously, what year are you living in?) and to the second part it's only wrong if the non-human species can't give consent.
Is it wrong to have more than one sexual partner at the same time? It depends on if you let the other sexual partner know it's not exclusive.

What are the responsibilities of a child toward a parent? It depends on the kind of parent.  I've heard stories about parents that...they had no right to expect anything from their children.  I think that if the child has a good parent than they should treat the parent with respect, show them love, make them proud of them, try to follow their example.  I...know that I didn't really do that when I was a teenager.
Which should be more important to you, your parent or your child? Your child.  Since you are your parent's child and you'd be more important to them than their parents (ideally).  I...know that if I ever had to choose - no I really don't want to think about it.  I'd choose Angie but I - can we go onto the next question?
Which should be more important to you, your parent or your spouse? Your spouse.  Again, can we go onto the next question?

How important is it to actively practice your religion? I don't, but to some people it's very important.
Does magic exist? Um, yeah.
Is practicing magic wrong? I hope not.

Is killing always wrong? Yes, even if there's a really good reason or self-defense or...you're still killing someone.  It's always wrong but sometimes it's necessary.  I've had people I've wanted to kill - wished dead - but it doesn't solve anything, it doesn't...I'm still glad those guards in China are dead, um, I'm going onto the next question.
Is war always wrong? No.
How old is old enough to fight in a war? I don't know.  It would depend on the reasons and the circumstances.
Is rape always wrong? Yes.  Always.  All forms.  I'd include that in worst thing someone can do to me or another person.
Is torture always wrong? Yes.  It can be justified in some situations but it's never right to hurt another person, even for really good reasons.  I'm not sure if I could hurt someone to get information, I'm glad that I haven't been placed in a position where I had to make that choice.
Is theft always wrong? No, sometimes you need to get something and it's the only way.
Is slavery wrong? Yes.
Is lying wrong? I can't really answer that.  I'm lying to so many people for so many reasons.  I think lying is wrong when you're doing it to hurt someone, but when it's a truth they're better off knowing or when the lies have built up - I don't know.  I really don't.
Is swearing wrong? No.
