Clone a mammoth?

[fairsheet]

Hey..the latest news is that "they've" recovered some mammoth blood - REAL liquid mammoth blood from a deceased mammoth in Russia.

Should they attempt to clone a mammoth from that blood? I say, HELL YES! Damn the torpedos! Full speed ahead!

God destroyed those Mammoths in the flood, at the same time he destroyed the Dinosaurs, it would be sacrilege to do any unholy cloning to bring them back.

I'm good with it.. as long as they leave T-Rex the F alone.

I don't care. I want a pet mammoth. I'd name him "Woolly". I know it sounds sorta trite but hey, it's not like everyone up and down my street would have a pet mammoth.

You'd have to leave town once "Woolly" pooped in someone's yard.

Good point. I want a GMO Mammoth that won't grow over 2 feet tall.

Oh no. I'd be sendin' 'em a bill for that mammoth poop. It's great fertilizer don'tcha know!

There WERE dwarf mammoths not much bigger than that on Wrangel Island far up in the Arctic, and they survived until about the time the Egyptians were building the pyramids. They survived until humans finally reached that remote speck of land, in other words.

"The fauna survives until Man arrives" is how one expert put it.....

Hope your neighborhood doesn't have a pooper scooper law. Although they might after you walk that animal a couple of times.

It's good to think ahead. Maybe I'll buy a herd of them and sell the dung to the farmers around here, could make a mint.

Look, your wish for the prestige and status of owning a 2013 mammoth is a form of anthrpomorphic reification and enviro-selfishness.

It will only lead to a neighborhood race to clone other prehistoric beasties in order to keep up with the fairsheets.

Someone for sure will clone a 2014 pterodactyl, and the creepy little goth boy who never sees the light of day will want a herd of 2015 velociraptors.

What ever happened to just being satisfied with brine shrimp and sea monkeys?

The argument is made that humans have an ethical responsibility to bring back the mammoth, if we can, because we were almost certainly responsible for its extinction.

We didn't have anything to do with the extinction of pterodactyls and velociraptors.

In any case, science has determined it a myth that we might clone dinosaurs. Evidently, their DNA will have degraded beyond any usefulness.

I think that is very likely true. But that still leaves MANY interesting creatures that we might be able to 'resurrect': the dodo bird, the Tasmanian wolf, mammoths, Neanderthals.....the list goes on and on!!
