The philosopher Lewis Vaughn argues that it does in Doing Ethics, 3rd ed. (Norton, 2013).
The natural act of individuals in human groups that exchange judgments in a context of moral values or traditions may conflict with the common sense of one or more persons of that social group.
El actuar natural de las personas en los grupos humanos que intercambian juicios en un contexto de valores morales o tradiciones, puede entrar en conflicto con el sentido común de alguna o varias personas de dicho grupo social.
Nope , what is right is right , some sort of law/rules is for manipulation not moral grounds. Moral grounds are hard to practice and not everyone knows how to follow it , Prof MacGregor.
No, there is no interaction between natural laws of life with the standard level of ethics.

Dear sir
Please don't mind natural law itself is very confusing and contradictory phenomena . Laws were never produced automatically. All the laws have been made by human being fulfill their own needs.
The relationship between morality and law.
(1) The existence of unjust laws (such as those enforcing slavery) proves that morality and law are not identical and do not coincide.
(2) The existence of laws that serve to defend basic values--such as laws against murder, rape, malicious defamation of character, fraud, bribery, etc. --prove that the two can work together.
(3) Laws can state what overt offenses count as wrong and therefore punishable. Although law courts do not always ignore a person's intention or state of mind, the law cannot normally govern, at least not in a direct way, what is in your heart (your desires). Because often morality passes judgment on a person's intentions and character, it has a different scope than the law.
(4) Laws govern conduct at least partly through fear of punishment. Morality, when it is internalized, when it has become habit-like or second nature, governs conduct without compulsion. The virtuous person does the appropriate thing because it is the fine or noble thing to do.
(5) Morality can influence the law in the sense that it can provide the reason for making whole groups of immoral actions illegal.
(6) Law can be a public expression of morality which codifies in a public way the basic principles of conduct which a society accepts. In that way it can guide the educators of the next generation by giving them a clear outline of the values society wants taught to its children.
