The argument:
- All evolved organisms, as well as their organ systems and subsystems, are tailored to propagate genes
- When an organism, organ system, or subsystem functions to propagate genes, it is functioning properly
- When an organism, organ system, or subsystem does not function to propagate genes, it is functioning improperly (it is disordered or diseased)
- Human beings are the product of evolution in the same sense as the first point
- Human moral faculties are subject to evolutionary pressures in the same sense as the first point
- Therefore, human moral faculties which promote genetic propagation are functioning correctly, and human moral faculties which suppress genetic propagation are functioning incorrectly
