As soon as we start placing human intervention into the natural order, we can do anything and it's a "GOOD thing".
We could kill all black people - they're in the minority, so it would just be evolution. We could pour toxic waste into our streams - and the people that suffer from it are simply suffering from the natural order.
There is obviously a distinction between the natural order as dictated by man and the natural order as dictated by nature. Whether you choose to recognize the difference or not.
