One nitpick:

How much sense does it make to adopt a moral system which thinks we are wrong for just doing what nature has very many animals do for millions of years?

Maybe a lot. Nature is fucked up. For example, remember Charles Darwin's parasitic wasps. The hell with nature.

Generally a very insightful post, though.

I for one like to bring up such tasteful subjects as traumatic insemination, "homoerotic necrophillia in the mallard duck", and baby eating.
