Summary: 


I seem to recall a quote in an issue of Newsweek that dealt
with evolution a couple of years ago in which an evolutionist
remarked upon the genetic similarity between chimps and humans.
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.
