MODERATORS
Ethics is right and wrong. Think stealing and lying.
Morals are anything to do with life. Taking or creating life is a moral issue. Think kill, murder, rape.
An issue is typically one or the other. eg It's morally ok to kill someone in self defense. You wouldn't say it's ethical to kill someone in self defense.
