The real problem is that Moral Absolutism ONLY works for the single individual making their OWN judgments. Once you try to apply any of your absolute positions to any other individual, the preconditions, and validity falls apart. So, when someone says, "A life is a life", they need to own all aspects of that claim. And while that might work for them, attempting to apply it to anyone else is foolish.
