Depends on definition. I'd go as far as 'common to humanity.'
But you can set other premises and measure objectively from that. So need to argue for well-being being the best one.

I would argue that many human things can be objective like optimal hemoglobin concentration.

what other promise could you set that would also be moral?
-
Are you using 'moral' as synonymous with 'good?' I think wellbeing is the best measure & argue so. Other ppl think a god exists.

If they're right (& they think they are) human wellbeing is improved by doing what it says in this life. Heaven. Hell.
-
Other philosophers would use other systems. Some cld be utilitarian & say enslaving some improves wellbeing overall.
-
Others could be highly individualist or highly community-orientated & this all affects the premise from which we measure.

Yes. That's fairly standard and I agree tho I also have the moral right to drink myself to death if I so choose.
