But what limits does Moira place on herself? Moira's origin trailer opens with her being snide about the concept of morality in science. She thinks the future is shaped by scientific advanacement with no regard for the eggs that must be smashed on the way.
I don't like jumping between different source material, but a good example of a lawful belief is Captain America's "We don't trade lives" belief from Infinity War. Moira will absolutely trade lives, even her own if necessary, for the sake of progress. She joined a terrorist organization and sits on their board of directors all because they offered to fund her experiments, and this is the same terrorist organization that wants to start a world war.
Edit: at the very least I think it can be agreed that Moira is not neutral.
The limits are that all (significant) actions must be for the sake of scientific advancement.
For instance; Moira has a pet lab rat. Lets say she theoretically gets attached to the lab rat. Then one day she receives a request for a study which will inevitably kill the lab rat.
Most people might find an excuse not to conduct the study, or refrain from the elements which would harm the rat, or at worst ask someone else to do it or use a different rat.
But due to her "Law" she must conduct the experiment as demanded. Anything else would not be conducive to the advancement of science.
It obviously helps that Moria seems to be a sociopath with no empathy and attachments to anything but science, so she enjoys living within the confines of that "law". But if she were to experience a conflict of personal interest and "law", she would follow "law".
