The problem with Natural Law theorists is that they often believe themselves to be above reason - in other words, what they have to say is so true that there's no need to think about it. This is not a sound approach to modern science or medicine. There are other alternatives to Natural Law in ethical thought. British and American policymakers, for instance, tend to prefer utilitarian approaches that examine balances between benefits and harms and that look at individual situations. Starting out with different ethical frameworks does not necessarily mean arriving at different conclusions.
People can reach the same conclusion for very different reasons.
According to British philosopher John Harris, author of Wonderwoman and Superman , it's not where you start that matters, but how well you reason your argument.
