No. Ethics is the knowledge of what is right and wrong. The law is what your government tells you to do and not do. Many things, such as abortion, are legal, but are considered unethical by some.

Added: Or persons who find 'loopholes' in the law that, although may make make their actions 'legal,' they are far from 'ethical.'
