Slavery is wrong.  Misogyny is wrong.  Racism is wrong.

The moral basis for these statements is in human empathy.

Is empathy quantifiable different than other evolved human feelings and instincts like jealousy, xenophobia, and contempt? Surely there is more to the story.

Quantifiably different, of course not. How would that even work? Quantifying qualia appears to be a category error, IMO.
