From Louise Quigley, Braintree, Massachusetts, US
I can’t believe that scientists are conducting experiments to find out what every parent has known since the dawn of humanity, the moment they look in their baby’s eyes just seconds after it takes its first breath: there is someone there. An ignorant, inexperienced, inarticulate someone, to be sure, but a person ready to be met, cared for and taught.
Furthermore, anyone who ever accidentally stuck a newborn with a diaper pin knows they can feel pain – and protest the experience loudly.
