You ever fantasize about locking 100 babies in a plain white room at birth, then returning 10 years later to see what they're like? No! Dear God no! I could tell immediately that he wasn't cut out for developmental psych research.

The signs are pretty subtle. I mean, after all, who wouldn’t?

The only trouble with that is the fact that you could only publish posthumously or spend the rest of your life in prison.Other than that… what the heck, why not?Everybody lives and dies and in a thousand years what difference will any of it make?Think of the valuable knowledge these one hundred otherwise ordinary and useless lives can contribute!

Can’t help it, I keep thinking of Amanda Krueger locked in with all those 100 criminally insane male patients..And also Tarzan, orphaned as an infant, raised by apes, and supposedly learning Shakespearian English just from reading books..Move along, nothing useful said here.

Are they fed during that time? How often, what, and how? If you want them to stay alive, there must be an initial way to feed them milk and you’d need a human or robot to do that. That will influence their development in the beginning. Then you’ll have to remove the feeder once they’re weaned, unless the feeder’s locked in for ten years as well, which will also influence their development. The caretaker should also clean them, which also influences their development.Otherwise, this just turns into a dead baby joke.
