Absolutely. I don't think that morals and ethics are at all interchangeable, not from the strict definition of either.
Morals are what you think OF things, ethics are the way you going about DOING things.
For instance, you are an attorney -- a defense attorney to be specific.
You are selected by your office to defend someone who bombed an abortion clinic allegedly.
You don't believe in abortion and you think the guy is guilty.
This is morals.
You go before the jury etc and you present them with reasonable doubt, your client is gets a not guilty verdict because you've done the best job you could for your client.
This is ethics.
