The study of ethics is something which really will not be covered in hard sciences. Ethics are a wholly psychological and philosophical phenomena and as such would probably be a subject of study in psychology and sociology, more so the latter, but as a branch of philosophy, I'd just stick with reading up on it from a philosophical standpoint.
The issues which ethics are related to pervade all aspects of life and science but the only time a science would be in direct relation to ethics would be in say, the psychology and sociology of ethics.

Sorry, but ethics is not usually considered a science. It is a branch of philosophy. Since ethics deals with standards of behavior, there are ethical issues in all sciences, from doing research to the application of discoveries or processes. E=Mc2 is merely an equation, but it started the development of nuclear and thermonuclear bombs, for example.
You can quickly develop your own list of ethical issues in any science.

Bio ethics is the study of what biological advances society should make. These include stem cell research, use of certain medicines and hormones, genetic altering, cloning, and a ton of other scientific issues being debated today.
