And we have to consider the downside - some evil spawn of, say, Hillary Clinton, reproducing as fast as rabbits.

Well, are the offspring of this union viable? If not, just an interesting experiment, but if they are, the pure human strain could be driven out of existence, even in China.

The idea of a mixed clone reminds me of the old story, possibly true, of Einstein and the gorgeous prima ballerina of his times.

Someone said to him: "why don't you marry her? Imagine a child with her looks and your brains!"

To which Einstein replied: "And if the child gets my looks and her brains?"

It will produce the perfect Socialist Man. Docile, servile, and when the 'gummint' is through skinning 'em for the entire duration of their genetically enhanced life, it will be hasenpfefer time.

Ever so much better than Soylent Green - ask any socialist.
