Appeal to nature

An appeal to nature is a rhetorical technique for presenting and proposing the argument that "a thing is good because it is 'natural', or bad because it is 'unnatural'."[1] In debate and discussion, an appeal-to-nature argument is considered to be a bad argument because the implicit primary premise "What is natural is good" has no factual meaning beyond rhetoric.
