Wow... so many ways to predict the inevitable moral & ethical debates that will start over this.
But my philisophical question of choice for this topic is: What percentage does a thing need to be human in order to have rights? Imagine if some of these things were allowed to grow up... what horrible things would we do to them? Becase surely that 1% other part will make them not at all "human".
yeah.. you've definitely found something beyond scary here.
