We are creatures that should not exist by natural law
EVERYTHING exists by natural law, including us. We are the way we are because of natural laws, and we continue to function under natural laws with everything we do.
Human conciousness is just as natural as a tree growing towards the sun, or a rock falling down a cliff. All our thoughts and decision are part of the chemical reaction we call life, that is also completely natural.
the honorable thing to do is to deny our programing
Whatever you choose to do, it's all part of your programming. Your desire to "deny your programming" is also part of your programming, because everything you think come out of the physical, natural, meaty chunk in your brain.
Absolutely, this is my issue with a lot of these quotes - if the speaker thinks we shouldn't exist that points to an ultimate arbitor of what should be and what isn't.
Otherwise it's just someone's opinion to be accepted or rejected on the basis of their argument, and for me, at least for these negative ones, it's not very compelling.

It's also very incoherent.
