I agree. Just as every person has a unique cultural and economic upbringing, every person has a unique physical and mental makeup. One person's brain might be wired in such a way that one set of values has precedent, while another might have a very different neural structure. With study, we can most likely uncover how general trends form based on environment and genetics, but I highly doubt that a completely objective set of morals exists anywhere in the universe, physical or metaphysical.
