There is no 'science of morality.' That is complete bullshit. Morality is largely a social phenomenon with some biological underpinnings.
"what can maximize human freedom and minimize human suffering" is the most absurd & vague statement I have ever heard in my life. Let me guess, sam harris?

If it was good for our species survival to burn every 3rd baby alive then our society would have evolved to burn every 3rd baby alive.
Any detractors would have long ago been bred out of the gene pool as they suffered from the negative effects of not burning.
In big cities we walk past families and individuals all the time who often starve or freeze to death on the streets.
Both are horrid things. One you accept as moral one you wouldn't. Morality is fickle like human kindness.
