Related to the topic is Kohlburg's stages of moral development. Children respond to moral quandaries differently as they age, giving us some unique insight into moral development. Kohlburg asked the children if it's okay to steal cancer drugs for someone's dying spouse. Children of different ages/development answered differently bringing up different problems and points as they got older. The question and their answers can be found in this Wikipedia article, which outlines the rest of Kohlburg's theory. It's all very interesting stuff as well worth a browse.
