The Loss of a Father Physically Affects Children

Post by Finrock »

Interesting study that shows that the loss of a father (death, incarceration, divorce) has negative physical consequences at the cellular level on a growing child.

True. I would bet that if you interviewed the average LDS stripper in Vegas, Reno or wherever you would find her parents are divorced.

Of course the article is about biological factors but psychology and biology (sciences that feminist say are racist and sexist) work closer together than we might normally suspect.

I agree and I think the study confirms this. The article notes that the loss of a father affects the psyche or behavior of a child, which has already been confirmed in other studies. This study further demonstrates how a child is affected at a cellular level or it pinpoints how "telomeres" are adversely effected by this loss.
The absence of a father -- due to incarceration, death, separation or divorce -- has adverse physical and behavioral consequences for a growing child. But little is known about the biological processes that underlie this link between father loss and child well-being. In a new study, a team of researchers reports that the loss of a father has a significant adverse effect on telomeres, the protective nucleoprotein end caps of chromosomes.
This confirms what we already know that a father plays a significant role in the health of a child and they are not dispensable. Among other conclusions we can draw from this study, it should cause fathers and mothers to think twice about their actions which may cause a father to be absence from their children's life.

There is a negative effect of loosing a father in the family. The effect would be emotionally and financially. This is especially when father is very much attached with his children or any member of the family. Such a big loss might be!
