Re: Sometimes I feel like most parents only love their children because of biochemistry.

[kluify]

But you could say that any 'real emotional connections' (using your phrase) you make with people outside your immediatefamily - outside of those you supposedly are biochemically induced to love - are actually the result of evolutionary instincts to form an inclusive social network to increase your survival chances.

That is, you could reduce any aspect of human behaviour down to its biological/psychological/evolutionary core. And so, without getting into some kind of philosophical argument about what is it to be human, I guess I just don't know why you're drawing the distinction you are. Especially seeing as I'm pretty sure most people who care and nurture and profess love for their child beyond the first few years of its life have made a 'real emotional connection' with them - not matter if that connection began as a biochemical reaction.

Same as loving couples whose connection started as a flurry of pheremones or a rush of oxytocin post coitus or whatever - I don't think you'd call a relationship that lasts for years or decades simply the side effect of biochemistry. Or maybe you would, I don't know. Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm not a scientist - so sue me.
