Ben Shapiro vs Neil deGrasse Tyson: The WAR Over Transgender Issues

[Sheldon]

Why is it objectively wrong to kill someone?

It causes pain, it causes harm.

This is how the human body functions. It goes for other animals as well, as long as they have a brain and nervous system.
Humans are emotional machines. The same goes for other animals as well.


When you cut yourself or something infects you or an animal bites you, you sense pain.
This probably has served the purpose of helping the animal survive.

Our morality is layered on the above fact.
If we had no such emotions, then we would not have rules such as "don't kill your fellow man", "don't punch your fellow man", etc.

You would have no desire to survive.

All you have done is add more subjective claims, so now you need to demonstrate that it is objectively true, that causing pain or harm is immoral, can you do this without just adding more subjective claims? Appeals to emotion are subjective, not objective.
