I don't know how this article got on HN in the first place. It's clickbait garbage disguised as interesting science. OK, maybe we can make a hybrid... so? Why would we? At least part of the author's hopes seem to be to run evolution in the face of all the anti-science nuts who pretend to doubt it. But genetic manipulation is not evolution so it doesn't prove anything but it does give people a good reason to think that science has no moral compass. The subtitle claims it's scientifically possible and morally defensible but the author doesn't seem to know what "morally defensible" means.
