Has anyone else seen the BBC mini-series, First Born, based on the novel
Gor Saga, by Maureen Duffy?  The three part series has shown up on A&E a
couple of times and is about a gorilla/man hybrid.  It's pretty interesting,
there's very little scientific detail, but it does get into the ethics
of the situation somewhat.  One interesting thing I noticed as I was skimming
through the first part was that the scientist responsible thinks of the
hybrid as a new species with man's intelligence without his homicidal 
agression while the military person in charge of the experiment sees organ
transplants, space explorers, and super-warriors.
