What do you guys think? If we did it in an ethical way where it was treated like a human?

Read about it earlier, I'd find it rather interesting if they were brought back.. though, they died out for a reason.
Do it. Put all those "playing god" catch phrases aside and do it. For science.

Just started my 24/7 LoFi stream. Come listen!

I'm a bit fuzzy on the ethics of this, but I'd love to see all the new things we could learn about non-human intelligent species.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
They either died out because they were unable to adapt fast enough after the ice age to find enough food.
Or they were bred out with human genes.
Or they were genocided by humans.

I'm not sure if it's fair to call it a non-human. They'd be as different to us as chimps are to bonobos.

Playing god? Aren't creating light bulbs "playing god" since "god" created light?
Why did I read the title as Neanderthal clothing...

Uhm. Why should they be cloned? We wouldn't learn anything about their "society" nor would we get any biological information that we don't already have.
I'd rather limit focus to replacement parts and food, not on entire living beings.

I don't really see a point. They were so near human rasing one like a human would probably result in basically a human.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
They don't share a single bone in their body with us. That right there is different.

Not only research but we'd know that we could bring back species. If it were smart enough it could live as a human. Nothing unethical about that. If that's unethical we should stop advancing.

Neanderthal aren't hairy...
