To me this is simple. Science is about observation. When you observe that certain behavior brings about better human well being then it is morale. If it does not it is immoral. There is behavior done by the individual, then how those individual relate to one another as a community, then as a greater society. Values are and should be the Universal behaviors that allow humans to thrive as individuals, as a community and as a society.
