What does it mean to be human? How as a society do we consider the essence of humanity? Is biology or social interaction the crucial component of what defines our humanity? These are essential questions that require enormous investigation and introspective analysis. These questions are extremely difficult to investigate in a scientific setting. Finding subjects in a controlled setting would raise too many ethical questions for social and behavioral scientists to justify, so cases involving feral children exposed to severe social isolation provide a crucial form of evidence and foundation for analysis. The case of Oxana Malaya is one such scenario.
Human beings are social creatures. To exist, we require interactions with others. Studies have shown isolation can have detrimental effects on a person's well being.

Social isolation is another factor that contributes to Amy’s depression. Amy likes to keep things to herself, compounded by the fact that her daughters only visit her once a month in the retirement home. To address this, the nurse can involve the family, such as Amy’s daughter through counselling, informing them of the benefit of more frequent visitation to improve Amy’s condition. Likewise, encouraging Amy to participate in group activity, such as meals, when she is back in the retirement village is also beneficial. Further, the nurse could direct Amy to organisations where she can find support services. However, the nurse should be aware of the ethical implications when carrying out these nursing interventions.
