Couldn't we resurrect some Neanderthals?

Perhaps we could. The question is, "should we?". What are we going to do with a live Neanderthal? Keep it in a zoo? Raise it like a sapiens and turn it loose to make its way in civilization? Create an undercl of Neanderthals as slaves? Elect it president? Science generally progresses faster than ethics but, in this instance, I think that our current ethics suffice.
