此处有一个小转折everyone, however, sometimes acts in ways that are an inevitable consequently of treatment received as an infant and infants clearly cannot control, and so are not morally responsible for the treatment they receive.注意这里提到了everyone综上两个结论,推出第三个结论。就是答案E。
an infant does not have control over the treatment he or she receives | Everyone acts in ways that are consequences of the treatment he or she received as an infant (that he/she cannot control) | Since "People cannot be morally responsible for things/and their consequences over which they have no control.
