Neuroscience points to the fact that we are born with an instinct for morality due to our brain's structure and capability but what we find moral and immoral is learned. There is a pretty good chapter on this in "Touching a Nerve" by Patricia Churchland. The more we learn about the brain, the more we find that our brains are blank slates that are hardwired to react and grow based upon outside stimuli. The nurture side of the argument has gained more traction with our better understanding of the brain.
