The standard ways of thinking about morality don't apply well to parenthood
Why is taking care of children worthwhile? It's hard work, badly paid if paid at all, and full of uncertainty, guilt and heavy lifting. And yet, at least to most of us, it seems like an absolutely fundamental, profoundly valuable project. If you asked most parents about their deepest moral commitments, and most agonising moral dilemmas, about what gives their lives meaning, they would talk about their children. But caring for a child is very different from any other human relationship, and the standard ways of thinking about morality and meaning don't apply very well to being a parent.
Caring for children is deeply paradoxical. There's a profound tension between dependence and independence. Parents and other caregivers must take complete responsibility for that most utterly dependent of creatures, the human baby. But they must also transform that utterly dependent creature into a completely independent and autonomous adult. We start out feeding and changing and physically holding our children most of the day, and doing all this with surprising satisfaction and even happiness. We end up, if we're lucky, with the occasional affectionate text message from a distant city. A marriage or friendship that was like that would be peculiar, if not downright pathological.
We feel the welfare of our children is more important than anything else, even that of other children or our happiness
People can care deeply for their own children, but be relatively indifferent to children in general

The edge of Queens Wood in north London. It's just a ten minute walk from my home. When I'm suffering from PWS* it's good to be close to a place that I can explore at the drop of a hat. Living so close to the centre of town it's something I'm very fortunate to have.
Thanks for looking.

An international team of astronomers has found clear evidence of a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. The new world, designated Proxima b, orbits its parent star every 11 days and has a temperature suitable for liquid water to exist on its surface, if it were present. This artist's impression shows a view of the surface of the planet Proxima b orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the solar system. The double star Alpha Centauri AB also appears in the image to the upper-right of Proxima b itself. Proxima b is a little more massive than the Earth and orbits in the habitable zone around Proxima Centauri, where the temperature is suitable for liquid water to exist on its surface.

A team of Harvard University researchers with expertise in 3-D printing, mechanical engineering, and microfluidics has demonstrated the first autonomous, untethered, entirely soft robot. This small, 3-D-printed robot -- nicknamed the octobot -- could pave the way for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous machines. Soft robotics could revolutionize how humans interact with machines. But researchers have struggled to build entirely compliant robots. Electric power and control systems -- such as batteries and circuit boards -- are rigid and until now, soft-bodied robots have been either tethered to an off-board system or rigged with hard components.
