Answered by science? Probably not.
But ethical debates can be informed by science.
For example, people used to think that being gay was immoral, because it was assumed that people made a choice to be gay. Brain science has shown otherwise, and attitudes have been changing. While science does not give the definitive answer to how society is to regard gay people, it does affect the direction of the discussion.
