Neanderthal cloning on the way

[Fillerguy]

Harvard geneticist George Church recently told Der Spiegel he's close to developing the necessary technology to clone a Neanderthal, at which point all he'd need is an "adventurous human woman" — einen abenteuerlustigen weiblichen Menschen — to act as a surrogate mother.

holy shyt this would be crazy and is quite the ethical question. How close to intelligence were the Neanderthal supposed to be to us?

Who gives a shyt about ethics

It's just one Neanderthal... We can't not do it

 

[Fervid]

In some ways they were more intelligent than us. For example, they were able to remember exactly where important food resources were buried under snow for long periods of time.

As far as the ethical question, we're probably the ones that killed them off so .

The only way I could see doing this ethically is if the mother actually wanted a child and agreed to accept this child as if it were human. you can't just bring this thing into the world just to see what happens and still claim to be moral.
