As already said, natural law demands respect for life.
The question is really, where does life come from?
When you remove God from this equation, then of course you don't need God as the reference point for the laws of life.
People have the capacity to deny every sensibility and every reality, and be famous for it.
Imagine a society where rape and murder are considered normal?
No need to imagine - history is full of that.
And modern society is fast filling with that kind of mentality, through war games, entertainment, false religions, crime and violence in the home and neighborhood, mind destroying drinks and drugs, greed and oppression.
And the structure of society isn't free of garbage either - the education system teaches competition and ambition, job and careers channel people into ruts of a working life, governments and big business enable corruption, and suffocate freedom and prosperity.
