It sounds a lot as if you are suggesting that there is some essence to morality which transcends "concerns are generated by our brains".
"still taking morality seriously" modifies "one [who can...]", not "brains with different concerns".
I'm not sure why you came to think there was some confusion on this point, so I will not presume to suggest where you went wrong in your reading.
One attractor in the space of moral systems that doesn't have much to do with what could be engineered into brains is the class of moral systems that are favoured by natural selection.
