Your answer concentrated on the morality of creating human/chimp

of their creation wasn't the focus of attention, and in fact agree
that creating them is a pretty dodgy thing to do morally and
ethically. Thus, I don't think you really replied to it, but then
the flow of the list swept the topic away and we started talking
about other things.
Would it be moral to clone a Neanderthal? An australopitecus?

Cloning ONE, so that it could be the only one of its
kind, and get to appreciate that fact? No. Recreating
a breeding population and giving them a place of their
own to live? Maybe. What existed once may exist again.
But please don't bring your secret labs on line until we've
talked things through. : )
