Even the secular psychologists agree that a child's conscience is formed by age 12.

These wonderful children comprehend more about this moral issue than 50% of those posting on FR today.

I didn't say the children didn't have a consious, but that they are not capable yet of mature reasoning. They are probably in the concrete thinking state where a child thinks that everyone's concerns are the same as theirs. For example, if the child didn't have water for 5 days, they'd be thirsty, so Terri must be thirsty. And I think that is really is that simple and that children feel the pain Terri is going through more than most adults.

But I don't think it's right to attack fellow Freepers just because they disagree with you on one small aspect concerning these children. Most here agree that Terri should be fed.
