What is the scope or range of ethics? Are the preferences of nonhumans included in the "good life" that is possible? Why or why not?

Explanation:

A)The scope of ethics includes whatever has reference to free human acts, whether as principle or cause of action (law, conscience, virtue), or as effect or circumstance of action (merit, punishment, etc.)
