I don't see why science under any metaphysic would do anything other than study the origins of morality. I don't think anyone wants to see science as the arbiter of ethics and morals.

This might be naive. The idea that values and science just don't mix is rather reminiscent of the whole mind/body dualism. Once you really start to understand consciousness - for example understand what physical or psychological pain actually is, then maybe ethics would start to emerge from that science!
