discipulus, I am clear of your motive, but We should not be considering wrongs or rights in the first place as they are as You said: objective in nature but subjective by demography.
In the end, the emotional reaction coupled with critical thinking is at the base of things. Right and wrong are based on emotional reactions like it is when seeing someone drown, but these wrongs and rights are not at the bottom. Someone from the bible clearly felt peeved when a young was found committing "adultery". Perhaps cheating caused someone distress, but there was no critical thinking involved as all whores were labelled notoriously.
Psychopathy and sociopathy (among others) should not be considered as suitable brains for determining a reaction to any event in the scope of emotions, as they are deficient of certain parameters. Only healthy brains should determine what events are signifying of pain or joy, and then assessing whether or not there is a logical coherence in such an event.
Wrongs and rights are fallible. If We did not have emotions, We would be liable to reckless harm. Slowing progress as time passes. For example, carelessly killing a captain of a cargo ship because it did not matter to You or anyone. It would be illogical to progress for killing the captain but logic is not any bit special to someone who does not feel the joy of logic for accomplishing their goals and maybe celebrating later.
I appreciate psychology to a degree as You can tell.
