Why can human beings be called human? It’s not just because humans have four limbs and a brain that can think and analyze, but because humans have a moral standard. This is why when we see touching displays of humanity, we feel inspired, we feel touched, we may even shed a tear.

In a pure moment of humanity, Celeste Ayala, an Argentinian police officer on duty at Sor Maria Ludovica children’s hospital in Buenos Aires on Aug. 14, 2018, saw an unattended baby crying and asked doctors if she could breastfeed him, being a new mother herself.
