Many of the things that make killing murder <i>are</i> sufficient for universal ethical principles. That is, there are things that are universally true within every rational, coherent ethical framework. This doesn&#x27;t mean everybody knows about them, agrees to them, or even believes in them.<p>So this:<p>&gt;people to say that there is a set of ethics that is universally believed.<p>...is absurd. There is nothing that is universally believed. That&#x27;s because people can be <i>wrong</i> about <i>facts</i>. That doesn&#x27;t mean there are no facts.
