Seriously people, allowing your OS to run apps from another OS isn't declaring the superiority of the other OS. It is simply a wise business decision. It can, in fact, be interpreted as an insult to Linux, depending on how you look at it. Consider this: GHS: "Our OS can now run Linux apps, so you don't have to use crappy Linux"
This is exactly the same reason they came out with WINE. The WINE devs don't like Windows, so they give you an alternative with WINE. This is the same thing.
Q: At what level is a chimera "too" human? A: No level. Who cares how human the thing is? It won't adversely affect anything in any way.
Q: Where do you draw the line between human and animal? A: IMHO, "human" has nothing to do with biological makeup. If you have the emotional and mental capacity of a homo sapiens then you can be considiered "human", no matter what species you are.
Q: How will this affect evolution? A: IANA biologist, but I'm pretty sure that unless we replace the testicles/ovaries of these animals, the offspring won't be affected.
