[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom slept through my and my sibling’s cries when we were infants. She even admits that if my dad hadn’t been around to feed us, we would have died. Not all moms have a maternal instinct.[/quote] Saying 'not all moms have a maternal instinct' isn't the same as saying 'maternal instinct isn't real'. Some people are born without a limb or without a part of their brain or without a certain protein, it doesn't mean that that is normal. Maternal instinct has kept the human race alive. I'm not saying its some perfect or universal feeling, but the human brain is built for maternal instinct when its running on optimal. [/quote] Agreed. In situations like the ones above, if the mom wasn't cutting it, then someone else would step in to make sure the babies thrive. Or the babies would die, and those genes would stop replicating.[/quote] Some people shouldn't reproduce.[/quote]
