Pab, e.coli and syphilis are natural. Natural doesn't always mean good or worth it. Agriculture isn't natural, let alone our current standards of housing or clothing. We just don't have to put in as much work on those things, personally, because of industry...and that's not natural either. Couldn't you argue that the human being/human life in nature (or in our "natural" i.e., uncivilized environment) is probably innately, as Hobbes had it, "nasty, brutish and short"? You've read Lord of the Flies, no?
