I'm generally against all stuff like this. It's literally playing God. Although the pursuit of science is fascinating and compelling, it constantly runs the risk of distancing ourselves from our humanity.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
I really don't have a problem with this, I also found it slightly comical they were concerned with enhanced cognitive funtions as a byproduct.......but abortions are legal so where is the ethical concern?
Bringing a human-animal hybrid into the world, for one.
Possibly soon to put it out of its misery by "late late term abortion".
When basic law is grounded in the idea of inalienable human rights, cross breeding humans with animals is a "slight" problem.

I don't see that problem and they aren't actually cross breeding. I already brought up abortion, Are we that concerned over a 15 day rat gestational period with a human liver attached?
There could be some advantages to things like this, most notably for the medical/healthcare fields, but I still feel they are far outweighed by the immorality of it.

Apparently, Bonobo's are compatible with human dna using old fashioned methods.
