The whole "natural", or in this case, "instinct" view is bogus in my opinion. This reminds me of the homeopathy, crystals, aural healing and all that shit that claim that as long as it's natural it's good for you. Well, fuck me, hemlock is natural, so is malaria, doesn't mean we should put up with that crap.
We are the masters of our own destiny because we've reached a point in our civilization that we are able to change ourselves; everything from planning when/if we get kids to adapting the environment - including plants and animals - to suit our needs. Why should we stop at there? Exub1a has an interesting take at how we could engineer ourselves, re-invent ourselves.
