I'm not sure I would regard morality as science or vice versa. Some people, such as the inventor of the atomic bomb might defend their horrific invention morally, but I think most people will agree it's more open-ended than that. To say nothing of the environmental damage that our society's industrial 'progress' has caused. Science is a positive, not normative discipline, so by definition is morally neutral.
