In the New York Times of this week Stephan C. Schuster and Webb Miller, people in charge of the secuenciamiento of the genome of the mammoth, said that it could clonar so that they return to steppes. And they also said, that he could be realised with the neandertales, since the secuenciamiento of the neandertal genome is only time question, as we saw here.

In the newspaper they clarify would be severe ethical questions. George Church, another geneticist, said that it would be technically possible to bring again to a neandertal to the life. But Why? In order to exhibit it in a zoological one? She would be a thinking person, since they were not different. They would use them of slaves?

Church says that is an alternative so that nobody eave to me nor protests by the ethically moral thing take place that would be to bring to a neandertal to the life. He proposes that the DNA of a human one modifies to adapt it to the one of the Neandertal genome, and thus to be able to clonar it, but is used the genome of the chimpanzee.

Yes, he has something of reason, since the genome of the chimpanzee is in a 98 percent similar to ours, but it is necessary to mix to an extinct neandertal does 40 thousand years, with a chimpanzee? why?

According to Church, the genome of the chimpanzee would be modified progressively until he was almost equal to the one of the neandertales. Soon an embryo would be created that would be implanted in a chimpanzee the graceful thing is that Church is asked: The great question would be if there would be sufficient people who seem to him acceptable that a hybrid neandertal chimpanzee exists.

The problem is that this is technically impossible if does not take part something of human DNA. You what think? They think that they cheer up to do it someday?
