The baby is then brought to America or the UK and raised in a peaceful, loving, well-off and comfortable home by devoted parents in a small, quiet village with an excellent school.

Do you genuinely believe that this baby would grow up to be a sadistic / inhumane adult and it's inevitable that they will commit, or at least have a desire to commit, violent crimes?

some things are inherent. My dad was an addict, he overdosed in his 20's. i recently learned this. i was adopted and raised by 2 parents that were not addicts.

I am an alcoholic. i clearly have addiction, even though my adoptive parents were not addicts. i believe i got it from my dad even though i never met him.
