Just for clarification, I DON'T think that slavery is a universal wrong. I was asking you those questions about machinery to better understand why you say that an economically inferior method is inferior since clearly methods can shift in and out of economic prosperity. This would lead us to believe that we can't rely on economic reasons to say that one method is universally wrong (unless economic harm is the universal wrong; that would mean that any method that hurts the economy is wrong, and then when it helps the economy, it is right; the morality would not hinge on the method, but that method's effects on the economy.)
Just because I don't like something does not make it immoral.
A child certainly doesn't like going to the dentist, but is it immoral to have regular dental checkups?
I may not like eating foods with lots of fiber and vitamins, but is eating them immoral?
No. Liking or disliking something, though possibly related to morality, does not fully constitute morality unless morality is indeed thought of as subjective likes and dislikes.
More people are likely to suggest moral standards that apply to a broader range of people, regardless of whether those people like those standards or not.
