Ok, now I get it. And because I understand the question I shall now respond to it.

Morals were developed by mankind, they do not just exist, otherwise people wouldn't do things that are considered immoral. Morals were developed as a way to define what is socially acceptable. Morals are seperate from laws though. Many people think that laws against murder and rape are there because murder and rape are immoral and wrong, this is not true, the laws are there because murder and rape violate a persons rights as laid down in the Constitution(I'm talking from an American point of view here).
So in summation of my opinion, morals are man-made, not universal.
