Nature vs nurture is an age old debate that's very difficult to study scientifically because it's fucked up. This was a very misguided attempt to study the concept. According to the documentary, the findings are locked up for some time, so we can't even see what they found (these weren't the only kids studied)

As far as Im aware, questionable experiments are locked until the people working on it and the people in the study are long dead- so that any detrimental reactions or effects can be minimized

Anyone know how a child participant of an old study might find out what that research was, particularly if their parents won’t reveal the truth and they have no idea who the researcher was or what institute she was with? (asking for a friend…)

If ai recall, they said they won’t release the findings until all participants have passed away
