it depends on which ethical standard and what set of morals you are applying.

i'll say this, though -- it is definitely possible for an action to be unethical, immoral and completely legal.

well, we put labels on people by their actions (not always but usually). Their actions are guided by their morals/ethics. So if everyone's amoral can we still define someone when their actions are unrestricted?
