Difference between Legal and ethical standards?

Following laws does not make one ethical. Slavery was at one time legal in the United States. Escaping slaves could be beaten or killed in accordance with the law. While this practice was certainly legal, the unethical nature of it is quite clear. By the same token, when it was discovered that the ford pinto exploded into flames in a rear end collision, Ford used the legal standards set forth by the national highway transportation association and cost benefit analysis to justify not implementing a fix. The result was more fatal accidents. Legal is following the law and may include exploiting holes in the legal system. Ethics is doing the morally and socially right thing. Some laws may not even have any ethical connotations whatsoever. Parking in a loading zone is illegal, and kind of stupid, but not unethical.
