It's just that these things have been debated since forever. Of course on some big things, like mass murder, I believe are just bad. Yet I do believe that in some cases an individual just needs to be removed from life.

Most likely some morality is objective, and some is subjective.

That's basically my position too, though I think even for moral questions we would deem subjective, there would be a course of action that produces objectively the best set of effects. It's just that the limitations of our brains and predictive capabilities would make that impossible to properly grasp the first time around.

So even if we have subjective moral opinions on a given subject, we can correct those on the fly in accordance with whatever effects we're given.
