Why is this category labeled Law & Ethics?

In many cases the two are mutually exclusive. Notice... there is no Government & Ethics or Politics & Ethics but, for some reason, Law & Ethics are grouped. Shouldn't they be separate categories?

    I agree that on a platform like yahoo answers it would make more sense to have two separate categories. Apart from that the two can be seen as a single subject, when we consider so-called natural laws. Those are opposed to the laws which are established by a certain political government and can be used to argue about the men-made laws.

    In my opinion it really doesn't make a lot of sense, seeing that yahoo answers is primarily about asking/answering questions and not meant for serious discussions.

    Why should they make it separate? It`s not so busy to do that and people don`t have to switch between two to give an answer to people`s questions.
