You may have come to the right conclusion, but I want a defense of it. Don't be lazy. We can't just say something is true because it's true.

A natural law:

A system of law which is purportedly determined by nature, and thus universal. Classically, natural law refers to the use of reason to analyze human nature -- both social and personal -- and deduce binding rules of moral behavior. According to natural law theory, morality is a function of human nature and reason can discover valid moral principles by looking at the nature of humanity.
