Let’s do the mammoths first.
Probably hinges on the definition of whether they are “human” human (LOL!).
I mean, if they are a separate sub-species, it is going to cause problems, a la evolution.
We already have democrats and muslims. Wouldn’t cloning Neanderthals be an expensive duplication of effort?
They had it easy when getting dates. Just hit the girls over the head with a club.
Did we mate with native Americans or did we murder them? Yes and yes. If we can mate with Neanderthals, then they aren't a separate species and therefore they are us. If we couldn't breed with them, then they were a separate species, but there is no way to know if we murdered them or not. Besides, what "we" are they referring to? I am confident that no FReeper has bred OR murdered a Neanderthal. And no, we shouldn't clone anything that is extinct, especially any sentient thing. It would be cruel and possibly dangerous.
That is all we need More Democrats!
Lions and tigers can mate with each other, too.
This article provides us with some good, solid arguments that will be of great practical value once we get rid of the liberals, and somebody proposes bringing them back.
Can’t all cats mate, just as all dogs can?
There are living Neanderthals, I will just leave it at that.
Lions and tigers are separate species, however.
The offspring are sterile because of chromosome incompatibility. This is not the case with cats mating with cats.
Their offspring are hybrids that cannot reproduce to sustain a population.
The Left calls us Neanderthals, we could use some company, I say go for it!
The left is bringing in voters from 3rd world, it is high time we clone ourselves up a fresh batch of Neanderthal-Americans.
Oh, I don't know about this. How “sentient” would an organism have to be before it would be cruel or dangerous? As to bringing an extinct species back, lots of folks wouldn't mind if the Dodo came back, or the Carrier Pigeon, or the Tasmanian Tiger. I mean, if they're back, then they aren't extinct. The Geico Neanderthals get their feelings hurt all the time, but I think they'll get over it eventually.
I like the idea of bringing the Mammoths back. They would keep the bear and mountain lion population down out here where I live. Wouldn't help my landscaping much though. :-(
Neanderthals were sentient. How would you like to be the only member of your species brought back just to be prodded and studied. What would his/her immune system be like in relation to today’s diseases? Where would they fit in? Besides, the 0bama EPA would never allow cloning mammoths because of their carbon footprints.
Do you think we should do the same for the great apes and dolphins too?
