Woman’s Assistance Needed For Neanderthal Baby Clone

The things that you read in the news these days, now I know that what you are about to embark on is not exactly full of GHz and RAM figures, but at least there is some semblance of bio-technology involved. Apparently, Harvard Professor George Church is convicted that there is enough DNA available which can be extracted from fossils in order to achieve cloning, somewhat like how dinosaurs were created in Jurassic Park. Of course, the cells would first be grown in a lab, and on paper, it could then be implanted into a female for gestation. Having said that, Professor Church is looking for a woman who is willing to loan out her womb to birth to the clone, a Neanderthal in this aspect.

When approached on the situation, a lady replied, “I don’t know. I’m in support of the science if she’s willing to do it. I would not be that adventurous of a female, no.”

Just to get some background on Professor Church, he is a leading geneticist at the Harvard Medical School, and has also been credited in the assistance of initiating the Human Genome Project. Do you think this will find success?
