    Harlow's experiments demonstrated the impact of the parent-child bond when it is denied. Out of his experiments grew other studies by researchers who recognized the importance of the mother infant bond, how absence of consistent, positive contact negatively impacts a child's development, and the adult he is to become.
    Out of those early research studies, it is better understood how to educate young adults to be attentive, caring, and effective parents, and to stop treating children like miniature adults - instead, learning how to approach newborns, infants, youth, and young adults appropriately with due respect given to their age, intellectual development, and emotional needs.
    Please don't demonize Mr. Harlow because his studies repel you based on current ethical knowledge of animal rights; appreciate, rather, what was learned and the fact that once his studies focused our attention on the emotional and social developmental needs of Primates and humans.
    Humans are still learning and trying to do better raising emotionally whole, intellectually engaged, and ethically grounded adults.
    I am sad the monkeys used in Harlow's experiments suffered;
    I am grateful the experiments are not repeated today, and this grandmother is indebted to those primates who demonstrated very clearly the importance of good parenting during infancy.
    Newborns in orphanages who were only handled long enough to be fed, bathed, and diapered on a schedule lost weight and died.
    Finally, the emotional and cognitive needs of infants were recognized.
    Harry Harlow's experiments are mentioned in most child development classes today as a segue into the valuable lessons learned, and the turnaround in Children's Hospital policies:
    In the early 20th century, hospitalized children were not allowed to see their parents. All contact with home was cut off, in the belief that interruption of hospital schedules for surgery, meals, treatments and medications must be avoided.
    Thank God Childrens' Hospitals now welcome children and families, and thoroughly prepare parents so they can give their children the support and care they need so much.

      Please dont accept atrocious behaviour just because it had some knowledge come out of it.
      Excusing this kind of actions, where living being are being tortured daily, is.. sick.
      Only people who are severely lacking in normal human emotion, are able to actually see this kind of experiements through.. anyone else would end ip with ptsd.
      Allowing mentally sick people free reigns in this way, is one of the first signs of a society in final decline.
      The problem was never the children, but the adult arrogance of thinking they know it all. It is not hard to see when a child is hurting, be it physically or emotionally. But when you are told to not listen, to ignore that.. then it is clear you will also not see the damage you do.. or you find other work, because you cant be that cruel to children.

    It is difficult to understand what Harry Harlow was seeking, unless viewed as a means to unlocking the mystery of chronic depression.
    The root causes of depression are not clearly understood today, because they remain unknown.
    Now, in 2023 we are seeing an increase in crimes of abuse and homicide against children by their parents.
    The Lori Holloway case is an example: a parent who appeared to abandon her two children. The police, after pursuing Ms Holloway to Hawaii, found the remains of both children in Florida.
    Similar cases are in the news.
    Are there clues in Harlow's experiment results that reveal connections between isolation early in life, and the most tragic failure of parenting, as evidenced by the increase in child homicides??
    I hope we discover the reasons/causes of parental failure, and soon.
    Our most vulnerable and voiceless deserve to have their physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs met by parents who understand the importance of providing every child with the best beginnings possible.
    It's the birthright of all sentient beings.

    As for the recommended subject: You could dive into the psychology of psychopaths and their use in war, as an executioner, or other such dark positions in society that need to be done, yet are harshly gruesome. I've always wondered why they don't put psychos into war first instead of normal men... it would seem to make more sense to put the ones who would likely even enjoy killing in first? IDK maybe I'M a psychopath.... Actually... Hold on I should probably get that checked up.
    I thought about asking for the first "transgender", but that'd be to controversial at this point in society though. (Sadly, we know that most of them (even nowadays) regret the decisions afterward, even still with all the support they get.)
