Not only are such questions not scientific, but they use the same words with different meanings. This is why it is important to be clear when communicating.
Morally wrong is to be opposed to what is good and virtuous. Scientifically wrong is to be demonstrably false.
To your last point, it gets more interesting when the topic is "Increased police presence is necessary in geographic areas experiencing high crime rates"
What does necessary mean here? What does" right" or "wrong" mean in the context of this situation? Does right or wrong change with the nature of the crimes being committed, or the nature of the people committing the crimes, or the nature of the victims? Is it right to not increasing police presence because the perpetrators are predominantly of one race, even if the victims are also of that race, as are the police themselves?
How do you achieve consensus- empirically or otherwise- on such a simple statement when no two people may be using the same words the same way?
