i say no cloning.. we cant play God we are to just be good stewards of what we have been left with.
Cloning the Wolly Mammoth
- Thread starter Warborg
- Start date
I think what is meant by tagging would be some type of band that would be attached around one of the mammoths limbs or perhaps some type of dart clipped onto a bit of its ear.The device could have some type of GPS for tracking the animal's movements.Similar to what is done with certain animals now....kind of like a Lo Jack system.
that's what I thought too.
but again, how would that negate what I said? how would that stop it from mating? sure, they may find it in time but they may not.
maybe some scientist or some animal rights weirdo helped it escape and took off the tag. who knows?
but was it retarded of me or "unstable" of me to find that not farfetched that it could be able to mate in the wild? i'm just trying to make sense of being called unstable. I can take a joke or an insult, but I just need to understand why
Judging from your screen name I'd say that you reap the benefits of cloning on a daily basis.
I didn't realize we had so many paleontologists on MFK. I guess Wikipedia makes you an instance expert this days with a degree and all.
Let them have this one lol... I still see no way possible of recreating an animal thats been dead for so long...
well, if it was sterile, then it would make my being insulted make even less sense lol
if I was insulted for my comment because of my ignorance of their sterility that would make sense. (i have no idea whether cloned animals are sterile or not) but I was insulted because of my ignorance of the clones being tagged, as if being tagged was a fool-proof form of periderm birth control
