I’d add to this that to allow no ethics or morality in science research is a scary suggestion indeed. Under CE’s statement that doing so is a theocracy, there is nothing wrong with raising a human in a cage to see what effects a life of cage-life has on the human mind. His absolutist position is ridiculous.
I can think of plenty of examples of where a lack of ethics and morality led in scientific research and it ends up being the stuff sci-fi horror movies are made of. Human experimentation comes to mind.....
Did somebody mention embryonic stem cell research?
Oh, I agree.
Under CE’s statement that doing so is a theocracy,
What he said was: demanding the government and non-believers act in accord with your holy book is a de facto theocracy.
There's a difference.

Like a Skinner box? ;)
In all seriousness, such an experiment would be a violation of the child's rights.
