Russian and Japanese scientists are hoping to clone mammoths

The scientists are planning to use mammoth eggs in the cloning process.

Link?

YOU REALLY WANT TO CLONE THIS ONE??

But isn't the FIRST Rosie O'donnel already having career problems?

I wanna clone my girlfriend and fix her DNA so that she likes anal sex.

Should not disturb the past. They are extinct for a reason. But human nature seems to be to fuck with things they shouldn't.

So I say go for it. I'll pay admission to see a prehistoric park in Siberia. :thumbsup

What about endangered animals, should we close them? How about if them being extinct is due to human mismanagement of the land, should we clone then?

Just wondering where you draw the line on cloning or if you're just purely against it

There is a good chance of excessive hunting on Mammoths by humans being a part of their extinction, so I don't see anything wrong with bringing them back. Besides, it isn't that long since they wandered the earth.

The Dodos should definitely be brought back. They were very unique creatures, and went extinct solely because of humans.

which animals should be brought back also?

Natural selection has its fine lines.
I suppose humans did fuck up a lot of species. I believe if we killed them off due to hunting or polution...

Actually that being said their prey could run rampant eating MORE than normal killing off a different species. Never thought of it that way. We could indirectly be killing millions of creatures daily.

I say get a genetic sample of as many species as possible male and female (several different ones so we dont inbreed retarded hippos) and store them.

I think cloning is bad for example of random animals from 1m-100k years ago. But then what do I know.

wasnt there a movie made about bringing back prehistoric creatures? if memory serves me correctly it didnt turn out how they expected it:1orglaugh

The Elephant Bird (Extinct 17th century)

The Quagga (Exitinct 1883)

That's just a few. If you have some time, research extinct animals in Google and name the species that you would like to revive the most. Would be fun. :)

Just look at this fucking thing. If anything was ever doomed to extinction, this is it. Let the dodos rest in peace.

Huh? We shouldn't correct the tragic accident we caused because a homo named "twistyneck" on a porno forum thinks the Dodo looked funny?

The Dodo was perfectly adapted to its natural environment, by the way. It had no enemies until some idiots came along and slaughtered them all.

Look at the picture very closely. These things are better off dead.

I think it would be fantastic to bring back one mammoth at least and to observe it scientifically.. It wouldn't be overly difficult to do, either.

"The Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741. Less than 30 years later it was hunted to extinction."

Fuck you, and fuck the people who chose to raise you instead of aborting you. :)

Don't you have a freeway to go play on?

Cin... you might want to re-read writings on archaeolgy a little closer. Mammoth hunting is a basic fairy tale unless they were found wounded or ill. ;-)

Yes. some were hunted but not very many. This is from ancient garbage dump investigations from quite a few places in the World. :Graucho

Go tell that to Discovery who devoted an entire documentary to Mammoth extinction, complete with scenes of Mammoth hunting techniques, one of which involved scaring packs of Mammoths off edges with fire and loud sounds.

Yeah that, but it was on TV thing is fabulous eh? So are-were Martians. ;-)

Mammoths are big hairy fuckers with huge tusks. I wouldnt want one of those guys chasing after me when Im wandering through the woods.

Though I could profit off of selling "Mammoth bells" and "Mammoth Spray"

:) :warning

I wonder how Noah fit two of every animal in the DNA ARChive... err oh.. well there ya go.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Mammoths were hunted
Mainly by herding them to where they'd fall off a cliff or into a dead end so that they could then be clubbed to death.

Good Grief didn't you read Jean Auel ? :)

The dinos are next?

Now, that would be exciting. :thumbsup

The Dodo might not be pretty, but I bet it'd feed a small town pretty good.

You made a typo:

They found what they believe are LEGS. IF they're going to clone, they're going to use ELEPHANT EGGS in the process.

Died out 10, 000 years ago like the mammoth. I want to go on this Zoo, hope the price is affordable..humm

What I'd really like to see are scientists save already alive animals, like whales and such.. Humans have hunted whales to within an inch of extinction, why not clone them and get a decent population base of them now before they are extinct..

I mean there are heaps of animals that are dieing out at the moment due to human neglegence, that we could save with the technology we have !!

just my :2 cents:
