This is the definition of ethics
The science of human duty; the body of rules of duty drawn from this science; a particular system of principles and rules concerting duty, whether true or false; rules of practice in respect to a single class of human actions; as, political or social ethics; medical ethics.
This is the definition of morals
n. 1. motivation based on ideas of right and wrong.
So the way i am taking it is ethics is like a stander rule that is set by society and morals are somethings that are taught by what you see and hear.
An example that is coming to mind is a crack whore that sells her body we as ppl looking in know it is wrong because of ethics but the child that has grow up seeing this might think it is moraly ok to sell your body to get things because they have watched their mom do it all their live. there for has no selfesteem and no love for other
But i hope others answer this because i really an not sure just going off of what i read
If I know a co-worker is stealing from my employer, am I obligated to turn them in?

This is very important to me: Are moral values learned from experience and society, or are they inborn? Do you feel bad about doing something "wrong", when nobody ever told you it was wrong?

Would you abort a baby with Down Syndrome or severe disability? Statistics say 93% of people do. This is a hypothetical question. I had a heated discussion with another pregnant friend of mine. Please keep it polite.
