Irritated

So why do parents have rights over their children, including after reaching adulthood?

What is it about producing a living being grants rights to the mother or father... or just mother or just father... or neither?

I understand just like most other offspring from mammals they raise them till a particular age before sending them on their way.

I understand there is a maternal and/or paternal drive to raise their children to a particular age. Why is there that drive.. I understand all beings have an innate drive to eat, reproduce, survive, etc...

where does this survival sense come from?

Is it the underlying chemical, gene, hormonal, etc that drives the brain? If the studies hold true and we continue to demonstrate that the brain reacts before you realize your thinking... (determinism)

then that means there is no, actual "could have done it a different way". Which if that's the case I hope there is some interconnected, multiverse where this is not reality.
