Should We Clone a Neanderthal?

SpaceAdmiral writes "Forget cloning a woolly mammoth — should scientists clone a Neanderthal? Such a feat should be possible soon, although it raises a number of bioethics concerns, including where to draw the line between humans and other animals."

Dear pro-lifer. You are fundamentally uninformed about how birth control works.

Please note that birth control prevents fertilization from ever occuring, and "morning after" pills do not "chemically burn" the fertilized egg either.

I love how calling Bush a monkey because of his physical appearance is okay. But if you do it to Obama because of his physical appearance you get called a racist.

Welcome to the cognitively dissonant world of Leftism my friend.

You see, the rules of political correctness only apply to the enemies of lefties, not to lefties themselves. As an example, behold the behavior of leftist and activist Gays in California over the Prop 8 dispute. Despite the fact that Mormons make up less than 3% of the CA voting bloc that voted Prop 8 in, and Blacks and Latinos voted FOR Prop 8 in overwhelming numbers, the gays are ONLY targeting the Mormons. They are threatening to burn down churches, have sent white powder-filled envelopes to LDS headquarters, and have already attacked and beaten both Mormons, and elderly people.

Note to all lefties: The rules apply to everybody, you don't get an exception.

Obama's got big-ol' ears. Makes him look JUST as "chimpy" as Bush.
