Weaknesses

• Emphasis on reproduction/procreation

  • What about infertile or homosexuals?
  • Aq. was celibate so did he fulfil his purpose?
• Vardy: Aquinas' view on genitalia is too simplistic
• Jack Dominion: There is more to sex than biology
• Legalistic principles, not very compassionate
• Assumes natural law comes from God so we must obey it
• Inflexible, doesn't consider circumstances, actions are either right or wrong.
• Naïve view on human nature, some humans seek bad.
• Assumes everything in nature is good, what about cancer cells?
• HUME - NATURALISTIC FALLACY

  • All of the ideas start with observations of how the world IS and moves from these observations to how the world OUGHT TO BE.
  • Like saying most people are heterosexual, so we ought to be heterosexual.
  • However, just because things are that way, that does not mean that they ought to be that way.

  Bible also says nothing on porn, social media, there are modern issues with NML.
