Let’s suppose he has normal intelligence. Let’s even suppose that his face isn’t ape-like. Neanderthals had significantly different dimensions. Their forearms where shorter than their upper arms. He’s likely to be very ugly by anybody’s standards. What will life be like for somebody whose nearest relative died 33,000 years ago? What will he think about those who created him and then put him in a world where he is the ugliest man alive. Even if he has a great personality, how will near universal rejection affect him? What happens when he wants to mate? What will his children look like? And, suppose he has no social consciousness at all? What if he isn’t even close to human? What then? Just because you can do something does not mean you should.
He could pull in 6 figures or more working for Geico.
You would have to define 'normal'. All creatures on Earth are intelligent.
“What will he think about those who created him and then put him in a world where he is the ugliest man alive. Even if he has a great personality, how will near universal rejection affect him?”
What if he is a she? Then she won’t have to worry as much, because no matter how ugly she is, some man will go there.
Normal for a neanderthal.
Why are scientists deadset determined to create "sub-human" life-forms that are not extended the same basic protections of life? Is it so they have their "trial set" of near-human guinea pigs for medical experimentation? For labor?
At the same time eugenicists are urging the abortion of those who have birth defects or the euthanizing of those who "cost the State and contribute nothing" later in life?
“And, suppose he has no social consciousness at all? What if he isn’t even close to human? What then?”
He’ll register as a Democrat.
