Scientific Explorations and Examinations

Scientists are working on research and theory that an impregnator becomes smarter and nicer through the process of the impregnee giving birth. Dads-to-be may get sympathetic morning sickness and food cravings, too, but all things considered it's a small price to pay.

Men's brains are changing as their new baby is growing. They're on greater alert for dangers, their instincts for care are improving and problem-solving skills are sharpened and hone. Why? According to the variety of scientists cited in a Times (of London) article, hormones and a need to survive.

Not yet known is whether children increase your abilities by exponential effects. If that should be true, imagine the improved version soon to be on display of Texas/Nevada's Joe Shatswell. The U.S. Army specialist is on leave from fighting in Afghanistan so he can tend to his two-year-old daughter while her mom is in the hospital being care for on the eve of the birth of the couple's quadruplets.

Where will science go in explaining fatherhood? And can it ever explain why just as nature gives, it also takes. The flip side of learning to be smarter, to love and care for your children that much more is harsh. And so, just as hope is sprung for Shatswell, hope was crushed in the story of an Indian gentleman who died of a heart attack just hours after learning of his daughter's suicide. She killed herself because she could see his suffering no more and in doing so she appears to have taken the little bit left of his life as much as hers.
