Quote by: Magnus  This was answered in my earlier post, there is in fact a biological moral standard to raise and care for children. because otherwise, none of the species will be around to talk about it. Is this so hard to understand? |
Of course there is a biological preconditioned instinct to raise a child, as evident in any animal. But this is not absolute in humans. Do bird simply decide not to feed their young if they don't feel like it? Or does a dog abandon her pups on a whim?
No, lesser creatures can kill off offspring but only in certain conditions such as taking over another pride of lions, or lack of food so the young themselves are needed for survival as food.
