It's funny because I too have also thought of his experiment - although I wish to never see a day something like this happens - for the sake of flat
out human cruelty - they would be always looked at as subjects, and they wouldn't even know it.

living with them?
Too many variables to consider I think.
They may even begin to see you as 'God'.
You could basically imagine the same thing as the "truman show" If enough people worked together on a project and created an alternate
life/society/universe if you will - it would be a show - to see the semi-controlled unconditional human behavior and development.

You also have to consider the "God gene" if there is such a thing. Basically if the parents of the babies had a history or not with the belief in
so the babies are or are not predisposed to a way of thinking.
Considering if the experiment was in modern or somewhat modern. These kids turn-adults will want to know whats out there. If it is a controlled
experiment like the Truman show, you can see the limitations if they want to leave.
Because of our modern society, I don't think one can grow up with access to the internet/t.v and never be exposed to the thought of God.
And if you take away modern communication and travel and leave them to a primitive culture - then they would be left with the sun the stars and their
dreams to make sense of the world (the technical explanations)
Then you will have to think about their language, source of food if they almost die, - you have to protect them without intervening unexplainably.
If you did - I think they would just end up worshiping you for protecting them.
But consider how long the experiment goes on....what if this lasted years, decades - would this experiment civilization explain something similar to a
God - would they invent their own religion, book, idols?
