Bionic ear.
Bionic eye

Both are products of nature, as the elements required by products of nature (humans) to build bionic ears and eyes are also products of nature.

I'll go out on a limb and say theft - the worst "crime" of all - is also natural. Subjectively immoral, but totally natural.

@Poncho69 correct. Everything humans have, can, and will do is natural, including genocide for example. Torturing kittens is natural. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were natural occurrences.

@VeganSausage poor kittens
