Yes they do, newborns even have a sense of justice, you could look it up if you want or whatever, but me at least, when i was very young i started crying when something bad happened and vice versa. Not really. Psychologically this is altogether different. Newborns cry when something affects their limited worldview, but this isn't justice. This is simply them trying, again, in their limited way, to deal with their uncontrolled emotions. Newborns cry for a host of reasons, and young children often feel the rules or restrictions of their parents are "unjust," and thus, cry about it. But that does not make them unjust.

I suppose I could look it up but if we're really debating this, the onus is on you to provide evidence for your assertion that newborns have morals (or a sense of justice, or both).

Not sure if this forum does private messages, (haven't checked my profile) but feel free to PM me with any relevant links to peer-reviewed studies regarding this, if you find them.
