Yes, the issue is 'good' and 'bad' as determined by human beings. What else could moral judgments possibly be determined by? I don't think 'good' or 'bad' are perceived. They are judgments a person makes, related to perception but not perceived.
You're stirring the pot with a complete red herring. Many forms of sociopathy and psychopathy seem to be rooted in different brain structures, yet this provides no reason for thinking that allowing sociopaths to engage in violent behavior is a social good. Bone up on your Catholic moral theology.
