...We may be losing touch with the Natural Law, which could also be described perhaps as "God`s " Natural Law?

We kill our future generations with our futile attempts to stave off death.
Think about it ... natural law says only the strong survive. But not for humans, we try to overcome it by preserving life to such an extent. For instance, a young teenager is discovered to have a genetic flaw of some sort (pick one), but we now have medicines that can preserve their life and allow them to lead a relatively normal life. In the "wild", this person probably would have died before reaching maturity, but we can keep them alive and "normal" with our medicine.
So this person grows up, gets married and has children with this same genetic flaw. They pass on their weakness to their children, and their children pass it on, with the addition of whatever physical condition the spouse has too. Eventually, we will become weak people, unable to sustain life without the assistance of medicine.
But what can we do? It would not be a very loving thing to allow someone to die when we can help them to live. So we kill our future in order to sustain life today. Such is love :)

Nope and lets use silly logic that Christians like. If you god made man and man discovered something else then it must be a gift from god so!
God made man, man made transplants, thus transplants are a gift of god and not violating any natural law.
But no in reality transplants don't defy natural law. I would think any species that could preform transplants should and would as a means to keep the speceis going.

he he i hear this argument all the time but if it was you in need of a transplant or someone you cared so much for believe me your opinion will be so completely different. people argue that well if god didn't want this to happen then it wouldn't be here . . .erm well my answer to that is it wasn't god that did it you (that person) did. you look every where there is NOTHING LEFT THATS NOT BEEN TOUCHED by human hands and changed. if you have a garden all your flowers maybe the odd few have been genetically changed even the trees pet. what was natural by natures slandered is lost. ha ha carrots was white potato poisonous. now we cure a lot of diseases.

There are many good Christian doctors and nurses and God is using them. I will use David as an example, God could have zapped Goliath but he used a young teenager with a staff and sling with stones to defeat an enemy that was intimidating every grown man.
Here is an example of a man given one week to live and what he is doing now! http://www.cancerrecovery.ca/

It was God's natural law that gave us the intelligence to develop new ways to improve our lives. I think it can enhance our ability to be in touch with it.

NO!!! If we have the knowledge to do these things then why not. So if you see a person drowning we just don't help him.... b/c gods supposed to swoop down and save him.....um NO. same thing with the transplants and medicine.

Nope...I value medical science. You can't pray yourself into having your heart get better when you need a transplant. Sorry...not into that blind path.

I suppose so. I had never really thought about that. But God can work through any willing person, even doctors.
