No. Morals are individual guidelines that we develop through life,
and use to guide *OUR OWN* decisions.  I have my own set of morals,
thank you, and do not wish to apply them to anyone else, and will
certainly not allow other people to apply their morals on me, in 
an attempt to determine how I act or live.
