I’ve never before last week thought about babies being born with morals. Although the evidence in the two articles is clearly supportive of the idea, I wonder about how much these babies’ parents were able to teach them before the tests were run. How could a baby, who traditionally has no comprehension of other being’s feelings, feel sympathy to one whom wrong is done? One article did mention, however shortly, the (past?) notion of babies being unable to understand that others have feelings of their own. I’m still yet unable to accept this so easily.

But then again, I believe that there exists inherent good and bad. If babies were not born with these morals, how could they be learnt as inherent?
