i agree that the sense of touch is central to us being human beings.

i did a research paper once on touch in babies.
i used to teach infant massage to parents.
and, i used touch and massage in my nursing career on some sick and premature infants.

there was nothing better to calm a stressed infant than "holding" them in your hands.

interesting thread.
