Subject: RE: BS: On Ethics and Stem Cell Research
Ethics has to do with contemplating rationally what the optimum ssolution may be; morals, more to do with cultural agreements. They may be rational or they may be long since obsolete or they may have never had any rational basis, but within a culture or sub-culture they are agreed upon.
The two sets may intersect.
The ability to comply with codes of morals is distinctly subordinate to the ability to view what is and is not ethical, in the long term.
