All mathematics is produced by physical objects (brains, computers). Therefore the laws of physics determine what theorems are possible, and mathematics has no existence independent of our universe.

I argue that is equivalent to your statement. If the laws of mathematics are a product of people's mental contents which are a product of physical processes, then all mental contents should be - there is no reason to believe that the laws of physics discriminate in this manner.

This implies that moral claims, and indeed value judgments are solely a product of physical phenomena. Thus, an individual's moral decisions are not their own but rather the consequence of physics. One cannot choose, otherwise, to violate the laws of physics.
