It is possible that if a chimp-human hybrid was born, that the category
of chimp would be reconsidered.  IT just might mean that chimps would no
longer be used for hepititus and AIDS research, and that zoo conditions
would be re-evaluated for these "animals."  When chimps were taught
sign-language, some of this took place.  OF course others just said "IT
was not really language and chimps are just animals."
