Why don’t humans eat their own children?

This was some question I’ve heard somewhere, don’t ask me where, I can’t remember. It seriously made me think… WHY?

Humans eat all kinds of flesh of animals, so do animals. We kill animals, also kill other human beings for various reasons, then why don’t they eat their own children like many animals do? (Humans eat their kids literary what I mean is in physical terms)

Is it because humans are blessed with brains and Intelligence or because they simply have the power to think twice before they do actually do something which is a crime. Or is it because only humans are blessed with the feeling of guilt and regret which animals don’t have. (Well my dog did, and I never considered him as an animal: he was family)

A friend of mine told me that humans might eat their own children for survival if there is nothing else left but what matters is the thought of killing. A human gives birth to a child after 9 months which is the longest time period comparing with other animals. The 9 months of hope, expectations and love does not allow someone to kill their own kith with all trouble gone through.

Humans have millions of expectations from their own children, from the time they are born till and after they get married... During most instances they live their life through their children. If they had grown through hardships of life, the goals and dreams which could not be attained are passed to your own children for them to achieve. No its not selfishness its what they think is BEST which could not be achieved by them should now be achieved by their own children.

The satisfaction gained by parents seeing their own children growing up, experiencing life and succeeding is much more valuable than the physical need or satisfaction.
