Question

Assume the stance of a natural law theorist. Does nature indicate any moral norms related to families and what they look like? Money and how it is acquired and used? Drugs? Computers and iPods? Are there any moral norms you think a natural law theorist would claim about modern American life?

Answer 1

Answer: There is no direct prescription to familiar configuration, althought it is implicitly stated for a setting considered natural. Conclusion is, there cannot be any other parents but the genitors and, at first glance, no other legitimate filiation except for sons generated from this particular original relationship.

  However, when conceiving means of subsistance and its product, money,  and how it should be applied, inferences over principles like "ordered society" and "life preservation" could instantaneously lead us to some boundaries for what could be done or not as labour or with its retribution.

  Drugs would negatively affect the principles of life, ordering, relationship (as it affects the capacity of vinculation and generates isolation). An ostensivelly digital life as seen nowadays could sabotage spirituality and qualitative human vinculation or interaction.
