Natürlichkeit - ein regulatives Prinzip in Recht und Moral?

Why do human-animal hybrids cause us such discomfort? The reference to "naturalness" serves as a deontological marker - not only in bioethical discussions. But what are we really referring to - wilderness, divine creation or teleological principles? An analysis of examples shows that the use of the term differs considerably, not only as a folk concept but also in legal contexts. In addition, "naturalness" also points in the direction of an objective anchoring of morality. Being understood as an ultimate limit, the principle might be a reference point for future legislature.
