Rom: I think we need to tease apart three different things ... > 1) morality (as an absolute) > 2) a sense of morality > 3) the capability of having a sense of morality-I think a child can be taught or given the bounds of morality (a conscience) by age 8-10. Morality absolutes vary with the society one lives in. Dealing with sociopaths and psychopaths tell us some folks are not capable of a sense of morality.
