A new human being requires an extraordinary amount of care to become an independent adult and thus evolution has refined the parental bond to be extremely strong. Ms Lewis has about as much chance of abolishing the family as catholics have of defeating AIDS by advocating abstention from sex.

Yep, I can't even see how you might go about it without an entirely dictatorial govt. And it's a bit like democracy, you can identify problems with family, particularly in a society that could be argued as corrosive to community, but it's better than all the alternatives.

I think these kinds of idea were all explored in China during the early parts of the Cultural Revolution, to be later abandoned. 
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

Bonkers.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
