[QUOTE="fba827, post: 320322, member: 807"] This is more or less the nature vs. nurture argument.... Are you born with an inherent alignment or do you grow into an alignment? (or a little of both just different individuals are at different ends of the spectrum). You know, in retrospect, given that newborn infants do not have the high intelect to even be processing ethical or moral judgements, I'd actually think of them (human infacts anyway) being on par with animalistic morals -- neutral. that's just my two cents, anyway. As an addenum, I would imagine that in most worlds, an ethical decision to "eliminate" a new born child (even if it does radiate evil) on the part of a paladin would be a poor choice. The better choice would be to see it as an opportunity to have the child fostered into a better life (and hopefully a better set of ethics). so that would make the above my third cent... ;) [/QUOTE]
