What is natural law deontology?

Natural law deontology is an ethical theory that combines principles of natural law with a deontological approach to morality, emphasizing duty and adherence to moral rules. It posits that certain rights and moral values are inherent in human nature and can be discerned through reason and observation of the natural world. This framework asserts that actions are morally right if they align with these universal moral principles, regardless of the consequences. Essentially, it focuses on the inherent morality of actions based on their alignment with natural laws rather than their outcomes.
