Chris raises some interesting points but if we don't accept the same assumptions there is no way to come to an agreement.  In the absence of the relativistic statements you mention we must accept absolutes. And what if those absolutes  are weird?  Yes, people are sometimes ill suited to get through life and would fail in any attempt to impose governance on their behavior or an acceptable one for their society.  Even though someone has stake in an issue they cannot change the cultural definitions that limit the concept, and in that way freedom is indeed t best a soft-determined illusion. People can't agree on the definition of life so it is difficult to accept that relativistic options are not valid.
