He suggests rather impudently that Dr McCarthy do the experimental work himself?

Does "he suggests rather impudently that Dr McCarthy do the experimental work himself"mean "he suggests very rudely that Dr McCarthy in his experiment had intercourse with pig/chimp..."?

Context:
He adds: 'Hybridizing a pig and a chimp is like taking half the dancers from a performance of Swan Lake and the other half from a performance of Giselle and throwing them together on stage to assemble something. It’s going to be a catastrophe.'
Finally, he suggests rather impudently that Dr McCarthy do the experimental work himself and try mating with a pig to see how far he gets.
But Dr McCarthy believes that, in the case of humans and other creatures, his hybrid modification to evolutionary theory can account for a range of phenomena that Darwinian evolution alone has difficulty explaining.

It might help to think of it this way.
eg he suggests rather rudely that Dr McCarthy should do the experimental work himself and should try mating with a pig to see how far he gets.
