Nature vs nurture is really a non issue at this point. Basically everyone (that I have run into, short of a small percentage of undergrads) knows that its both nature and nurture.
I'm also not sure what you would get out of a study just throwing some kids on an island with apes? That's super uncontrolled. Plus is this morals or research ethics we're discussing and what is the difference?
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to ask.
Are you asking what the implications are for ignoring morals and focusing on mechanics?
If so, the first thing I would state is that all morals are purely a social construct. There is no such thing as "objective morals" because they differ between societies and cultures.
