Leaving aside moral issues over euthanasia and abortion, I don't think that holds up. People killed to a great degree in the days when faith in God was almost universally unquestioned. They still do in those parts of the world where the faith remains this entrenched. Indeed, the rate of killing seems to have actually gone down in many societies that you condemn. If it's level or slightly higher, the difference is not apparently so great. This is not even to mention of course the times when faith in God has itself sanctioned killing. As for the ethics, I find reciprocity enough.

how you folks can live with that nonsense in your head i'll never know.

We don't live with that nonsense in our heads. Maybe that's why you can't know how we do it.

Of course they are part of the natural order of life. But, as to the order of the body operations, we certainly can recognize when things are not functioning as they should be functioning, per the natural order we recognize in a well-functioning body.

I guess you never get sick or have health problems or other health disorders, eh?

I don't see how what I said implies anything of the sort.

It is totally normal given that he is not living in his natural (intended?) environment. Genes for sodium conservation are less needed than they were.

Gleiberman11 proposed that natural selection for sodium conservation in the hot, dry savannah climate into which humans first emerged could have resulted in sodium avidity that today is maladaptive.

Nor does it stop there.

We are an animal in genetic and cultural flux, living with the consequences. Sadly different aspects of us appear optimised for differing earlier conditions. There is no "home" to go to that fixes it all.

[That's how we identify health problems - they are disorders of the (normal) body functions.]

That's not how we decide what level of BP to treat. There is no magical "normal BP". We do clinical trials and if a certain treatment regime has a more positive outcome than no treatment regime we deem it to be the correct medical response.

You take the meds to return your body to normal order and functioning.

Shame about side-effects then. What you actually do is take the drugs because the side-effects are less annoying than the long term organ damage and possible stroke.

Really? Disease, death and decay are not part of the natural order?

I do not recognize even the existence of a natural order as you seem to be using that term. I recognize only nature, which is just everything that actually happens.
