I'm not referring to teaching and demonstrating empathy, morals, behavior and consequences, as noted here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/07/01/scibaby101.xmlI'm referring to innate qualities like cognitive empathy and morals. A child can be taught right and wrong, how to live a moral life, how to be empathetic to their fellow man, acceptable behavior in a social world, but that doesn't mean they have innate cognitive empathy or morals. I think morality and empathy is rooted in biology and in some births, that wiring is disjointed or rewired and no manner of example or teaching can fix that, only train the person how to 'appear normal' in society.

>>I'm not so sure that is true. The idea that every new babe is born innocent and doesn't have evil in their hearts until they learn it from their environment is possibly flawed.
