Again, I'd see greater potential for humanity in the baby. May not turn out how I'd think...but I'm only going on personal perspective, it's not as though there's any "right" answer here.

If anyone's experience would gear them towards helping others in the future it would be your friend. I think when the kid can understand what happened, the whole dead parents thing will probably overpower the caring stranger bit. Also the baby could turn out good or bad, your friend is obviously a friend for a reason. I'd say growing up an orphan would even lean him towards the bad side of the spectrum, best case scenario you're looking at 50/50. Not great odds in my personal opinion.
