Well, the last "no" I heard was for genetic mingling. But of course we don't have full-spectrum genomic data on humanity, and far less for Neanderthals. Oh, and here is a quirky aside: even if there is a full ban on human cloning, Neanderthals obviously aren't, so evil, evil people could still engineer and clone their own slave labor and uber-armies . . . ehm, legally. Ahem, which might not exactly be a consideration for anyone who is already that evil.
