*wryly* Speaking as someone who teaches it, I don't think ethics is a science. But I don't think that's saying anything bad about ethics. "Science" doesn't mean "everything worth studying." It applies to a particular set of problems that we can investigate in particular ways. Ethics is not open to investigation in that manner - but that doesn't mean that everything is up for grabs and you can do anything ethically.
I'm a weak objectivist; I do think there are things that are always wrong. But I'm not a theological objectivist (and I may well be wrong about *which* things are wrong. *grin*)
