Morality only evolves as we creatures do and have evolved, therefore morality is as subjective as evolution itself. (i.e. not at all)
No person chose to have empathy as a huge part of human nature. It doesn't matter at all that some individuals can be psychopathic and lack empathy just as it doesn't matter than some people are suicidal. Empathy is an evolved characteristic that benefits intelligent social creatures like us en masse. Until you can demonstrate that evolution is subjective, you won't be able to demonstrate that morality is subjective.
Empathy is not necessarily morality. So far all I see from you is a position that morality evolves. I say that morality or what is considered moral changes and not always for the better and not necessarily driven by evolution.
You did hit on one piece that governs a part of the subjectivity of morality, society. The society, for the most part, will dictate what is considered moral.
And it does matter on an individual level.
Ever consider the concept of set and setting (minus the drug component) when it comes to morality?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
