You are really murking up the water here. Either a choice is wrong or right. Not sometimes it's wrong sometimes it's right. There is no reason why it would be subjective. It cant be right for one person and wrong for another. You can say it's morally wrong for someone of a certain religion but not for the people who don't hold that religion but all that means is that either someone is right and someone is wrong. But since there is no way to identify which is which we can't say who is right.

"Either a choice is wrong or right. Not sometimes it's wrong sometimes it's right. "

You probably believe that killing is always wrong. If I understand you correctly, killing is never right and is always wrong. Well...I and many people would disagree. For example, it's not immoral to kill someone if it means saving the lives of hundreds of people. You may disagree, but then we have no way of knowing who is right.

Some choices can be so complex that there is no obvious moral option. In the example that I provided above, if you asked that question to ten different people, you would probably get ten different answers.

So you are saying that killing someone to save 100 different people is sometimes right sometimes wrong? If killing is always wrong then yeah, killing one to save 100 is wrong. If it isn't always wrong then that would imply that there are situations where sometimes its right and sometimes its wrong... but the thing about that is it would determine on the circumstance. Either its always okay to kill in self defense and not in cold blood. But it will never be sometimes its wrong to kill in self defense sometimes its right.
