I understand at present the concept of rightness and wrongness are the typical elements of morality, but they are equivalent to the claims of the Flat-Earthers.
But the concepts of right and wrong are what constitute morality. Without them, we no longer have morality.
As I had stated, the current majority of people are still stuck with the concepts of right and wrong as what constitute morality.
I have already stated, to Hitler, the genocide of Jews was 'morally right'. To Islam, the killing of non-Muslims upon the slightest threat is morally right. What is morally right to many entails killing of humans, violence, wars, and the like.
You would disagree their views, but based on your definition of 'what is morality' you have to respect what is morally right to them, thus will not do anything to correct the situation.
In this case, you are indirectly complicit to all their evil acts.
You have to understand and recognize, the function of morality is a 'Johnny comes lately' within human evolution. This is why the majority of humans are still grappling what morally really is in alignment with human nature.
There is a need for visionaries to expedite the moral progress within humanity.
I define 'what is morality' there about as 'eliminating evil to enable its related good.' We cannot eliminate evil totally, so we need to strive at least reduce it to the least optimal minimal.
Note;
Since World War II, moral, political, and legal philosophers have become increasingly interested in the concept of evil. This interest has been partly motivated by ascriptions of ‘evil’ by laymen, social scientists, journalists, and politicians as they try to understand and respond to various atrocities and horrors, such as genocides, terrorist attacks, mass murders, and tortures and killing sprees by psychopathic serial killers.
It seems that we cannot capture
the moral significance of these actions and their perpetrators by calling them ‘
wrong’ or ‘bad’ or even ‘very very wrong’ or ‘very very bad.’
We need the concept of evil.

As such, I am proposing a Copernican Revolution and 180 degrees paradigm shift to our internal human nature of biology [macro and molecular], neuroscience, psychological, genetics, genomics and epigenetics.
I'm sorry, but I think you are dreaming of a fantassy world.
Before you think I am dreaming of a fantasy world, you need to ask yourself whether you have covered all that had been covered within humanity's knowledge database regarding 'what is morality' from the beginning to the present.
I strived to leave no stones unturned on issues of 'what is morality' and I believe my homework on that has covered all the critical issues plus many other fringe issues.
So, what I proposed has reasonable grounds.
Yours? what makes you think what I proposed in impossible?
Note sure if you are up to date with this, where Genetically Modified Children has already be created, born alive and living healthily, except,
- He Jiankui created the first gene-edited children. The price was his career. And his freedom.

The world’s first genetically edited children are living happily with their parents, according to He Jiankui, the controversial scientist who created three gene-edited babies in 2018 and 2019.
“They have a normal, peaceful and undisturbed life. This is their wish and we should respect them,” He told the South China Morning Post in an interview on Friday.
He said he did not want to see the children being disturbed too much for the purpose of scientific research, adding that “the happiness of the children and their families should come first”.

While the above progress is held back by ethical concerns, the possibility of GM humans is already a possibility and proven.
In addition, note the trend of the current advancement in AI.
With the above, there is a possibility in future that humanity can facilitate to enable the individual[s] to self-developed in a FOOLPROOF approach in maximize the potential of their inherent moral-calling.
