Is a claim like "murder is bad" an "ought" statement or an unfalsifiable "is" statement? It declares something that murder is, but I can also argue that a description like "bad" or "good" really means "what ought/ought not to exist."

What do you think? I'm trying to stress-test this model/diagram I came up with for an essay I'm writing about the implications of the notion of a sex/gender schism (not for school, just to pass the time and organize my thoughts) and this question gave me pause.
