Wanted: ‘Adventurous woman’ to give birth to Neanderthal man
Daily Mail UK
They’re usually thought of as a brutish, primitive species.
So what woman would want to give birth to a Neanderthal baby?
Yet this incredible scenario is the plan of one of the world’s leading geneticists, who is seeking a volunteer to help bring man’s long-extinct close relative back to life.
Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School believes he can reconstruct Neanderthal DNA and resurrect the species which became extinct 33,000 years ago.
His scheme is reminiscent of Jurassic Park but, while in the film dinosaurs were created in a laboratory, Professor Church’s ambitious plan requires a human volunteer.
He said his analysis of Neanderthal genetic code using samples from bones is complete enough to reconstruct their DNA.
He said: ‘Now I need an adventurous female human.
‘It depends on a hell of a lot of things, but I think it can be done.’

Is there some reason you’re keeping my face with your posts in this thread?

So, in other words, he didn’t GET the point of “Jurassic Park,” which was that just because something COULD be done, doesn’t mean it SHOULD.

We already have the pictured Neanderthal’s twin–Bill Mahr. Don’t need any more.

It’s the Democrats long term solution to having an endless supply of low-information-voters to keep reelecting them to office.

I have a serious question.
If this birth takes place is this “neanderthal” going to be considered a human, who has “human rights” that are considered universal throughout the world, or will it be considered a lab rat, and be poked and prodded and put through all kinds of horrible testing?
Somebody has to ask this question!

Just need to post this question on HuffPoop or the Daily Koques – they’ll have every low information-voting female beating down the doors for this tax credit opportunity of a lifetime. More than a few light in the loafers “guys” as well!!!

This seems terribly unethical. We’re talking about a life here. Will this child qualify as a person or will it be classified as a lab animal? What civil rights will it have. Is it a free individual or owned?
