Can Babies Tell Right From Wrong?
Telegraph: Researchers asked infants of various ages to choose between characters which they had seen behaving well or badly, and found they overwhelmingly favored the "good" characters.

Inconclusive, watch the hand of the girl holding the dolls, she holds the "good" doll a little more towards the babies.
They need more testing.
Cute babies btw.

No. Remember Newsweek or Time has declared at least white babies to be racists, so they must not be able to tell right from wrong. Like global warming, case closed, debate/discussion no longer needed, settled science.

Considering that a good 90% of the decisions we make today weren't made 5000 years ago at all, I'd have to say they don't have morals from birth. I mean, not many, right? We probably don't want to kill each other, but theft and drugs and such are new "bads".
Re: Can Babies Tell Right From Wrong?
I don't think they're that new. Theft isn't. Drugs, sure, but then again are they objectively "bad"? Plus man has been looking for ways to numb the pain of existence since civilization began - note all the things he smokes, chews, and brews.Twinsen wrote:We probably don't want to kill each other, but theft and drugs and such are new "bads".
