Why don't you guys grow an authentic Neanderthal baby instead, I'm sure there would be far fewer ethical objections plus it avoids the Frankenstein-ian experimentation on a human genome. The genomic data is solidly available and many of the 'improvements' you're going for are already characteristics of Neanderthals (+30-50% muscle strength, higher bone mass, better looking to a Ms. Shrek, etc).
I'm sure every bro-idiot in Texas would love the idea of having a beefier Neanderthal body part, so the market opportunity is definitely there.
