Morality can only exist with an external reference. Otherwise you are simply playing with references, and as each person's "morality" is equally valid, the word is meaningless. As there are no external references, the concept of morality is only a convenient myth; a legal and social fiction designed to facilitate control of the unthinking.

On the other hand, there are ethics, which are far more interesting, and when valid, ultimately derive their justification from genetics.
