[quote=Anonymous]Of course there will be individual variations.  One daughter may have been abused by the father, for instance.  That's why you'd have to have enough participants to get a statistically relevant sample.  I'm saying more people will sacrifice themselves over their loved one, not that all of them will.

On souls, I'm sorry, but you can't get the existence of the soul because Martin Luthor had a funny way of saying "How's it going?".  If the soul just means feelings, then sure, everyone has a soul.  But I understand what is meant by the soul is some essence of yourself that is separate from your physical body.  There's no evidence that such a thing exists.  We've never found one in a dissection, for example.

There's no way to test whether living people have souls, since if they exist we all have them and they are all inside of us somewhere.  You'd have to design an experiment where you could sense the essence of a person apart from their body.  I don't have a good experiment to test that, at least not one that's likely to show there is a soul.  Plenty of tests would turn up a negative, I expect.[/quote]
