I think the whole nature angle is stupid to begin with. Everything is natural because everything comes from nature. Fire is natural, being gay is natural, plastic is natural.

Binding anything to natural and then saying it is good because of that or it is bad because of that is a complete waste of time and just shows the bias of the person categorizing.

As I often find the right answer to the question is "mu" which means the question is wrong.

Is ist natural? Yes, everything is so fuck that question. The better question would be "does it hurt people?" or something else like that.
