In fact, I'd say that it's not possible to override nature at all.

when I say nature, juju, i mean what would happen naturally if a human did not intercede using science or medicine. And dont say that humans ARE natural and therefore can't interfere with themself. we'll never get out of that spiral argument.

We have acheived a level of knowledge that allows us to alter almost everything we can touch. we genetically modify vegetables, for christs sake. there is a line where something is natural and something that would not ordinarilly occur meet.
