Morals are individual guidlines, so they change from person to person. Thus the conflict we have between those groups of people who hold differing 'morals'. Ethics are societal guidelines and they change from society to society and change WITHIN the same socieity over time. The responsibility you have is to be the best 'You' you can be. But, in truth, irrespective of what you do, there is only one of you, so you can't help but be the best you, as you are the only you. But, it might be good for 'others' if you acted in such a way as to, as others have said, cause the least amount of harm. But, as none of us is omniscient, we may act in such a way that we think WILL harm the least but may, in reality, do the opposite. Nevertheless, you will be the best 'You' you can be!!
