your "whatever is good for humans is right" does not nullify my or any other appeal to moral principles. your saying seems to suggest that because whatever is good for humans is right therefore any moral appeal to the good and/or the right does not make any sense or simply does not apply regarding this human-nature relationship issue. so far so good; i have nothing to say about this line of thinking. but keep in mind that we are also dealing with people's competing *comments* about this human-nature issue, in addition to dealing with this issue *per se*. even if you want or others should be expected to use a non-moral principle to look at the human-nature relationship, your or others' *comments* and *perspectives* still have moral implications, because they imply what kind of action to be taken (or not taken) regarding nature and insofar as those actions involve not only you but also other human being(s), they involve moral issues.
