Do You feel that science had reduced human love to just a meaningless chemical response?

Question

Or is it someting more than that?

Answer 1

probably, robots of the future wouldn't understand anyway

Answer 2

No, I don't think so. And if that is ever to happen, it's still far away into the future.

Answer 3

meaningless? no

Answer 4

Science certainly makes things depressing sometimes. I think it is a mixture of both, though. I read in an article that the chemical reactions stop after about a year or so. That's why relationships tend to fall apart at this point. You begin to see more of your partner's irritating flaws. So, if a relationship manages to last beyond this point, then I'd consider it true love.

Answer 5

Just because it is biological doesn't mean that it is meaningless or less enjoyable! I LOVE LOVE!

Answer 6

No, but I DO believe HUMANS have. It AMAZES me how we can call attraction and need "love" - Love is it is a deep seated feeling of security and respect. How can THAT feeling be meaningless? Is that not one of the greatest feelings one can obtain?

EVERYTHING our bodies do is some sort of reaction or response.... if science were to say the feeling one gets when they obtain a true "love" state is "meaningless", than WHAT does science say is "meaningful?

Answer 7

No. Love is still a choice. Initial physical responses are determined in part by "chemistry". But, the fact remains that love is a choice. Further, being around someone will influence emotions and relationships. As one put it, "I've grown accustomed to your face". When people are forced into a community or family relationship, they tend to develop feelings for each other. Those feelings are positive if they work together and are mutually beneficial. Those feelings are negative if the relationship is not mutually beneficial. It's not all about chemistry.
