I'm sorry if this makes no sense to you, but building moral laws from first principles always results in increasingly odd and counter intuitive consequences or obviously repugnant choices. It's a skill to be practiced in my opinion.
If you encounter repugnant choices, then presumably something is incorrect about your moral theory (as far as this is something undesired).
