Reply to comment by jiimmyyy in Michael Shermer argues that science can determine many of our moral values. Morality is aimed at protecting certain human desires, like avoidance of harm (e.g. torture, slavery). Science helps us determine what these desires are and how to best achieve them. by Ma3Ke4Li3

People disagree what/if moral facts are. But it seems pretty hard to argue they are no different from empirical facts (what was being called is statements).
