I would love to see the medical instrument that can accurately detect and/or quantify love.
and btw Chumly, what is 'a definitives biological survival rational' ?

Definitive: "s" was a typo. And yep there are plenty of biological and sociological indicators for the emotion of love.
Since you are too much of a prudish schoolmarm to study up on said biological and sociological indicators for the emotion of love, then you'd best ensure you don't look up your skirt.
In this context, love is inferred, but cannot be proven. Not even close.
Physiological changes inferred to be associated with emotions can be measured, but which emotion? There is no way to prove which one.
The existence of love cannot be proven, much less detected or measured by instrumentation.
But you've done a pretty good job of avoiding discussion of 'When Does Life Begin?'
