Anyone with an idea and a computer can write an advice book on how to raise children. And Science really doesn’t know what techniques have what effects in particular circumstances.
If we really knew how to raise Friendly children, public schools wouldn’t be the mess that they are.
None of that has anything to do with IRB or other ethics reviews.

I am not talking about taking N children and getting N children, maximizing average Friendliness of the children. I am talking about, given N children, finding some regimen X, such that a child which has finished regimen X will have the highest expected Friendliness.
Regimen X may well involve frequent metaphorical culling of children who have low expected Friendliness.
It isn’t clear that Science knows even a culling regime that would create Friendly child. If there were a reliable culling regime, we’d have Friendly politicians.
Also, what’s up with this degree-of-Friendliness language. AGI that has a small degree of Friendly is called uFAI. We’re already quite confident that we could make uFAI if we could make AGI at all.
