No, I don’t think that ethic questions can be quantified. I highly believe that ethic questions can be about whatever they want and be about anything. For example someone might say that “I didn’t go to school to get my education because I needed to support my family immediately, and that was priority to education.” and another may say, “I decided to go to school because later after I get my degrees I can further help my family, but they would have to be patient.” These two different scenarios about the same topic but different choices can be view as both ethical as long as they are believed to be doing the right thing for themselves or others. In the first person he may chose to work for money to support his family, and that may be his way of doing goods for his family. On the other hand the other person choses to go to school for a period of time and in the future will have a better pay and support his family. Both person decision can be ethical due to their reasonings either for themself or for others. In that case ethical questions cannot be quantify. There cannot be one scenario and only one right choice out of the scenario, their can be two right choices as long as it has meaningful reasons.
