    I agree. But, what do the ones who abort theirs do with their "instinct?" Just asking a question.

    This seems pretty obvious. But I'm skeptical about the small sample size...why only 13 mothers? Also, I'd be curious to know, given a bigger sample, if there are mothers who don't display these results and what implications that might have for child-rearing. Experiments on fathers would be cool too, as the article points out. Further, I wonder if they can do similar studies on animals...how cool would that be?

    Quoted: A mother’s impulse to love and protect her child appears to be hard-wired into her brain, a new imaging study shows.

      And what if you're a woman with zero desire to have kids -- does that mean that there is something biologically "wrong" with you?
