One quote in particular sticks in my mind: observing that it would probably be possible to cross the two species, he added that "it is difficult to imagine an experiment that is at the same time as scientifically interesting and morally repugnant." I may still have the article at home, and I'll try to hunt up the exact quote. Mike
