Subjective Morals and Societal Whims

[Jackalope]

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

I'm sorry the spell-checker took over giving my question an entirely different meaning. I meant to ask if their was a quality that distinguished empathy from other feelings and instincts such that giving it priority over the others is warranted.

Perhaps not, but the overarching point still stands - there exists a plausible natural basis for subjective human and animal moral behavior.

The OP's off the rails.
