Scientist seeks 'adventurous woman' to have Neanderthal baby

I think Werner Heisenberg might have a thing or two to say about the "more or less rebuilt" DNA.

LMAO @ Ron Perlman! He is the quintessential "Modern Neanderthal". Dude is actually very intelligent, but his skull is from a past epoch, hahaa.

Sounds like there aren't a lot of Encino Man fans on this site.

I went to high school with a kid that would have looked more comfortable in a deer hide than he did jeans and a t-shirt.

As has been alluded to by several here, more of the "can we do this?" (or maybe "we can do this!") without much in the way of "Should we do this?".

Pretty sure this bozo won't have a lot of buy-in if the results are less than good.

Freedom isn't free.

When you play God, bad things happen... Just look at any science-fiction/horror movie where some scientist creates something long extinct (Jurassic Park anyone?).

I wonder if they will say that about the 'liberal' species in several thousand years.

"here we have a fine specimen, perfectly fat and lazy still preserved in the couch holding a TV remote with an obama phone in their lap".

I'm curious to see where this goes.

I can start calling myself a "neanderthal", skip the middle man, and get some 'adventurous women' for myself.

"Trust me, I'm a scientist."

Nearly as terrifying as:

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

or

"I'm medically, I can help you."

Does bring some interesting ideas. If one is created, is it considered a person or an animal or ..... I don't think there is laws for this. So then what happens when they want to say dispose of it after say a year of testing and no longer need it? Or anyone invision planet of the apes almost where they are turned into livestock almost and slaves. (And then rebel oh man frown town.)

I wish they'd focus more on dinasaurs or something cool and not to close to the boundary with pseudo humans. (I know no Dino's nothing to find DNA in but I can dream.) Though a documentary Harder Faster Stronger about Roids had an interesting segment about gene modication or therapy to produce steroid like results in lab animals. I could go for a bit of that.
