Why would this remove "the thorny moral and ethical problems"?
Some of these primates (chimpanzees anyway) are close enough genetically
to humans that the question of hybrids with humans has, on this forum, been
considered a reasonable question to pose and discuss.
Is it consistent to believe that they do not deserve similar (to humans)
moral/ethical consideration?
