Morals refer to principles.
Ethics refer to actions.
The moral man knows he shouldn't date a teenager. The ethical man actually won't do it.
As far as legality, that just refers to the date for which a person reaches the age of adulthood in that particular state, by law, but not necessarily by maturation.
Ethics are based on moral principles, and they both deal with individual perceptions of right and wrong and my dictionary gives the exact same definition for both, word for word. Or as a wise man once said, they are essentially the same thing. Most laws are based on moral principles as well, but I don't think I'm being unethical if I'm doing 41 in a 40 mph zone. To say that a moral man knows he shouldn't date a teenager is to say it's immoral for him to date a teenager. Are you prepared for a debate regarding moral objectivism?
