Default Should Morals Play A Role In Scientific Progression?

In my science class, we've recently been learning/debating about topics such as stem cell research, and I've been thinking it over, and why should scientific matters be decided by morals?

The way I see it so any people have such different ethics when it comes to what is "Right and Wrong", and I understand that we shouldn't do things that are "wrong", but who decides that? If there are so many different thoughts on the matter, why is that how it's decided?

Take for exampe stem cell research, I understand where people are coming from when they say it's ending human lives and what not, but why should that matter if it's subjective? I personally don't consider it "murder", and neither do most of the scientists behind it. If you can save all these lives then do it!

Thoughts?
