I have an insightful question. Is it not true that Maria, who IS in fact a Spartan-II got married? So does that not say enough about a SPARTAN's ability to love, and I'm not speaking strictly of physical love. In my opinion I think that the implant doesn't necessarily eliminate the ability to love (or make it in some cases) but as stated before, simply suppresses some base human instincts such as lust. Though this is not without saying that a SPARTAN could choose to partake in such activities if he or she wished to.
