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’.” 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.
