Although not proven, some people say in the cold facts of evolution, we are indeed motivated by a desire to save our off-spring. Not only our off-spring, but even others offspring that you care for. I also believe in this because whether showing action or no action all human individuals want to carry out their genes for the next generations. This is our goal, but instead we do the action of protecting our children in order to do that.
 * 1. Are we, as some might say, motivated by a desire to save our off-spring?**

Yes there must be some sort of intrinsic reward for doing good. If there wasn't, the theory that scientists and psychologists are making would be wrong because there wouldn't be an award after you do an altruistic act. Some rewards are neurochemical reward which makes you feel good in the fell- good fact. Another reward is the social reward or also called the goodguy badge which people get after doing something good in the society. Whether which rewards or not, there is always after doing some altruistic good.
 * 2. Must there always be some sort of intrinsic reward for doing good?**

Yes, you still would do good because although in this article scientists and psychologists are rejecting altruism, the self-less act of helping others, it does not say that others have to watch it. What I mean by this is you can also reject altruism when no one is around by the wanting of self- pride or neurochemical reward. This would make you feel proud and good about yourself even though you are by yourself and you did something good.
 * 3. Mr. Otis once said, "That having integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching." If this is so, and no one knows when we have done good, would you still do good?**

Yes it does make perfectly sense that the theory of "Delayed reciprocal altruism" is somewhat like a gamble because we are positive that the other person is going to return a favor back. This theory of "Delayed reciprocal altruism" is just another way to get to your own desire. However this is different from the other actions because there is a chance of not getting the favor returned back.
 * 4. "Delayed reciprocal altruism", seems like a gamble - back to game theory, any way. Does this seem to make sense to you. That is that we act out of a desire to have what we have done being done to us?**

No, I do not think we are truly being selfless wen committing an act of altruism. All humans are aware of what they are doing with the exception of people with mental retardation. They also have a purpose when committing altruism. As I agree to the scientists and psychologists who say that we do altruistic things in order to get something back, people's purpose when doing an act of altruism is to satisfy their desires.
 * 5. Are we ever being truly "selfless" when committing an act of altruism?**
