Another thought I had: Likely if you had grown up with functional oxytocin receptors, your values would be different than how they are now, sure—you’d value a thing you have no reason to value right now, and that likely would have had many effects on the path your life has taken. But that doesn’t imply that if, as an adult, you get functional oxytocin receptors somehow, you will become the person you would have been if you’d grown up with them from birth. Think less vampire-transformation, more “I didn’t realize my nose was plugged, this food actually does taste good now”.
