All that said, I'm not completely opposed to an experiment like this, given careful ethical supervision. |
Considering how we treat all the other living, feeling creatures on this planet there isn't much chance of that happening. We treat the great apes abysmally with our compassionate interpretation of human morality.
Frankly I think it's a double standard to even
expect us to treat cloned Neanderthals any different, to the point of being hypocrisy even.
