The questions raised bring Isaac Asimov's brilliant short story 'The Ugly Little Boy' to mind. And if I've understood him well Asimov seems to be saying no to "Should we bring a Neanderthal in to our midst?". But the story like the discussion here dwells entirely on the social and ethical issues surrounding the question and remains mostly silent on the scientific and pragmatic side of the debate - what can humanity gain from cloning a Neanderthal?. Or to reframe the question if a referendum were to be held on this issue what would the agenda/manifesto of the proponents of cloning (a Neanderthal) be like?
