Cloning the Wolly Mammoth

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i'm not that extreme. i'm popping me some motrin or something if I got some pain from a tooth ache or headache
 
I'm for cloning but only animals that became instinct because of us humans. This whole mammoth thing is too Jurassic-park.
Btw, they can not produce 100% normal animals yet. Cloned anmals age way faster than normal animals.
 
I say go for it.The mammoth is one of my favorite prehistoric animals so I guess I am a little biased.
 
We breed cows, chickens and all that to eat. What's so wrong with cloning a mammoth or two? If they could that is. People seem to forget the things we do already just because it has become socially accepted, norm or habit

They seem to be derived from Asian Elephants (Elephas) though a different genus. I'm thinking if this is true, they might have tried it a long time ago given that there are a lot of well preserved remains with good DNA. So what's stopping them?

I suspect that someone has tried in the past and has not been successful.
 
I agree with Sumo alot. I don't think it's a good idea to tamper with nature by playing God.

On the flip side it would be cool to see one of these things one day
 
I say go for it, I want to see one. I have no internal struggles with anything aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts, zoos, brand spanking new woolly mammoths or the blissful ignorance of the fish swimming in my tanks. It’s all good. Maybe they can be reintroduced into Siberia, I think it’s been pretty much empty since they went extinct the first time. If the Loch Ness monster can go undetected or a giant dinosaur can live in the Amazon while Bigfoot runs stelthfuly around the great northwest, why wouldn’t it be just as feasible to put a heard of mammoths into the wilds of Siberia never to be seen again? Throw in some porcupines and all traces of them will vanish. No?
