That's an evasion, Murder is culpable homicide (i.e. a moral judgment) by simply using the term murder you incorporate a moral basis.
The question of whether euthanasia is culpable or non-culpable homicide is a perfect example. If you call it murder you are making a moral statement. If you call it mercy killing, you are also making a moral statement.
