What is morally right? Is it just what God wants?

Plato asked "how ought I to live my life?". Your system of morality will answer that question so it's important to pick the right ontology. 

Christians believe that moral perfection is a property of God. God does not choose to be morally perfect, he is because it's part of the essence of being God. Because we are made in his image, we are born being aware of basic right and wrong. God reveals this morality though revelation (both Old and New Testaments). Humans encounter many situations that are not found in the Bible, so basic principles of morality are extracted and used to apply to the new situation. Is that process flawless, no.

So, genocide is morally perfect?
You may refer to me as "Oh High One."
