Would you agree that we could make a subjective assumption that well-being is a reasonable basis on which to base morality? Yes or no?
I think you can make a variety of statements like x is beneficial for well being of a particular society, person etc..., like it's better for a child's wellbeing to be raised in a loving two parent home, than by a single parent, or that it's better for our wellbeing to have close friends, be a part of a community, that it would be better for the wellbeing of Japanese society if more people married, and had children.
You can make such statements, which may in fact have scientific validity, without any morality required. Without saying it's morally good for children to be raised in two person homes, in fact some might even disagree with calling this moral.
