We already had a neanderthal as president..
Eh nvm, I guess he was a chimpanzee.
I'd rather the world put it's entire military spending into cloning and medical science.
We could have all diseases cured within 100 years.
Maybe even solve the problem of super bugs from antibiotic abuse over the last few decades.
There is strong evidence that Neanderthals and homosapiens interbred, them just "dying out" is a misconception.
See no reason against it, also the truth is that neanderthals didnt "vanish" they got mixed with us, there is a lot of their dna in most modern people, its less "went extinct" more "got assimilated by the borg" erm, us.
Would be quite interesting, however i am sure we as a society still have many crap to deal with before using resources on novelty, then again as i said, we might learn something...
Hope it is treated humanely if it is done though
I say yes. But only if it is treated like a real living thing and not some kind of plastic robot.
There are no recorded cases of fertile mule stallions. A few female mules have produced offspring when mated with a purebred horse or donkey.[9][10] Herodotus gives an account of such an event as an ill omen of Xerxes' conquest of Greece in 480 BC: "There happened also a portent of another kind while he was still at Sardis,—a mule brought forth young and gave birth to a mule" (Herodotus The Histories 7:57).
While there is no known instance of a male mule siring offspring, female mules have on very rare occasion given birth to viable offspring.
