My knowledge of the technical aspects of this kind of breeding and conditioning is very limited. I can only speak to how it can impact society, how it's impacted myself. There are ways to manipulate the brain, for example, to inject false or foreign memories, to erase or alter natural ones. It is a traumatic experience, particularly where one's perception of identity is involved. Those children were under heavy mental strain, not unlike the sort of procedures I know of. But without one present, I cannot divine which aspects of that conditioning are from solely external stimuli or the alteration of their original states of mind. Should there be a means of returning Earthside, capturing one of these people alive to examine would be a very broad step forward.
