That would be too restrictive to cover alot of our day to day experience, where we notice that the things we want are very capable of harming us, or of harming others.
Here, again, though, this is the difference between subjectivist and objectivist systems. An objectivist does not deny that a person might want something. An objectivist can, however, deny that the wanted thing is good, or free of harm. This isn't strictly possible for a subjectivist, as the ground of moral value is subjective to a subjectivist.
