By universal I assume that is meant as in 100% ?

Not all humans shows remorse/empathy and some seem to have no problems with killing. So killing=bad cannot be seen as universal for humans. I guess it can be considered universal if one looks at society(the majority) in general.

AFAIK there are examples of animals showing compassion even towards other species so one cannot even say it is a human concept only.
