I saw a headline, something about some folks looking to have a surrogate mother for such a project. If it were possible, do you see any merit to the idea? Seems loony to me and unfair to any living offspring they may produce.

@edgarblythe,
Especially since this forum is full of what appear to be fully grown unevolved Neanderthals.

@edgarblythe,
If you ever saw certain parts of Florida you would think this Neanderthal cloning has been going on for the past 30 years! Cool

@jcboy,
Check the football teams.

I'm certain that, in parts of Oklahoma, there are defensive backs who are unable to speak.

Okay, but there is a serious movement afoot to clone one of these suckers.

@edgarblythe,
I hope not if the stereotype that neanderthal women are hairy holds true.
