Welp... gonna have Cavemen again...
Harvard Medical School is seeking a surrogate for a cloned Neanderthal.

KC, you find the weirdest shit.

Nope... not gonna happen.
The only DNA they have was compiled from several different fossils. And even if they had a generous amount from one place, under the right conditions, I still wouldn't want to see it happen. The animals they have cloned to date, have a very short and troubled life... a lot depends on the age of the cloned material. Given both the technical and economic challenges to cloning a Neanderthal, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll see a Neanderthal clone in your lifetime, if ever. A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels. ~ Albert Einstein |

Not to mention the ethical aspect of the whole thing. I don't see us actually agreeing to bringing what is basically a human being to the world, to be some sort of an exhibit, to be poked and prodded.

I am all for the advancement of science but this crosses my line for ethical experimentation.
Now if they can make dinosaurs and then I'll support it. |

Scientific issues aside; as most others have said, the ethical outrage will likely prevent such a thing. A bunch of bleeding hearts will stand in the way of good science.
