She became speechless when I asked her if the ethic applied to the unborn child. And could she reconcile a duty of care to a dead body with a denial of such duty to the unborn child.

The author claims that the duty is derived from our good will, or the moral law within us. The moral law is universal and rational, following Kant and Aristotle ( an "inner voice").
Does anyone disagree with this basic natural law argument?.
