2. Suppose it were possible to clone a Neanderthal (an extinct close cousin of modern humans). Should scientists be allowed to clone them?
3. Suppose it were possible to clone a Neanderthal, but it would require a human volunteer to be a surrogate mother to the Neanderthal. Should scientists be allowed to clone them?
4. Do you think scientists should be allowed to try to clone human beings?
