Question

something is wrong or unethical, only if the law forbid it

Answer 1

Something is wrong if not permitted by law or if not permitted by code of ethics (a.k.a. morality); the latter varies from place to place and from time to time, and this part is the hardest part to determine.

 

Other things can be wrong because they'd be injurious to someone (this may be in a code of ethics).

 

Ponder this: "All generalizations are wrong, including this one."
