If so why?

Of course. That's an easy one. It makes sense both intellectually and evolutionarily. I'm nearly 50 years old. The reproductive potential of my children exceeds my own.
I don't mean to oversimplify and if my child were in danger, I would never actually give reproduction even a passing thought. We seem to be hardwired to protect our young. Not unique to our species, by the way.
