In a philosophical discussion ethics are a societal code while morals are specific to the individual. In the early 90s it was considered unethical for gay men to marry in the US, but I found that prohibition morally repugnant. There is often a difference between ethics and morals but individuals are probably happiest when those two align.
Interesting, other responses here say it’s the other way round, with morality being more societally-derived and ethics being either more personally interpreted, or more practical/logical in spite of culturally conventional moral ideas.
Part of why I asked this question is because I seem to see morality and ethics defined to mean the opposite of each other in different places, and this kind of proves that to be the case lol
