They were intentionally separated just to be studied is upsetting ⁉️ It's unbelievable, frustrating, and heartbreaking.

this is such an upsetting documentary. I watched it for my society and culture class for nature v nurture, and it really upset me. the scientists are the problem in this situation, as well as the adoption agency.

morals and ethics definetley weren't considered in this experiment, only greed and money.
