Protection

From listening to the radio i developed the idea of how parents become very protective of there children, and when in grave danger what the parent would put themselves through in order to rescue there child.

I then looked at what may cause this, as said below.

We all have a parental instinct, treating babies as they are special and enabling them to survive, it then is natural for a man or a woman to become so protective, as if they are in danger there instincts kick in, forgetting about there own welfare and pursuing the safety of there child.

Scientists believe they have found that this instinct is apart of the brain,

This research was led by Morten Kringelbach and Alan Stein from the University of Oxford and was funded by the Wellcome Trust and TrygFonden Charitable Foundation.
The authors showed that a region of the human brain called the medial orbitofrontal cortex is highly specifically active within a seventh of a second in response to (unfamiliar) infant faces but not to adult faces.

So from researching this i feel i could do something with the idea of brain activity from a PARENT toward's there child when they may be in danger, or in general.
Possibly comparing the two, in two different ways.

Below is a newspaper headline showing the extent a parent would go.
