WOOT! Yay for genetic, memetic, and cultural reproduction. From one standpoint, new humans created out of almost nothing (a few bits of protein) is a miracle of nature that still continues to awe me. From another viewpoint, (thanks Mindel!) it's an automatic biochemical reaction that humans have to consciously take steps to avoid letting it run to it's conclusion.
Either way, I still think that raising a human well is the absolute most important job anyone can do. Equivalent to leading a country, being in charge of a nuclear weapons ******** or being a doctor. Because your baby is a future human adult, and every future human adult is a universe in itself, and is also one of the parts that sum up to make the whole of our future human civilization.
