I have to ask: why? Mammoths are extinct for a reason (and the cause isn't even us humans).

no, they should clone large, meat eating dinosaurs. If Hollywood is any indication, nothing could possibly go wrong.

You know what would be more cool? If they cloned a neanderthal by doing the same thing.

though it's probably not possible, sadly.

Of course. I think riding on the back of a wooly mammoth while sacking a city would fulfill a lot of my fantasies.

And while that is happening we should clone every single herbivoric dinosaur and plant them in the jungles of south america to act as a detterent for the de-forrestation.

Your poll is all screwed up. But yes to your question. I also saw it on the news today that they said it could be done. I hope they do it. When watching it, my girl mentions that they should start cloning out endangered species and I agree.

I don't see why not, I'm not so religiously indoctrinated that I think it's against God's will, even if I was then surely God would have made sure they'd never come back by maybe sucking earth up in a black whole, or the universe for that matter, and creating everything in six days again... and just like fossil-fuels/marijuana argument goes, God wouldn't give it to us if he didn't want us to use it. Here God clearly gave us a preserved mammoth marrow to clone a mammoth from; that to me is God saying "have at it!"... or, God created us in his image, God created the mammoth, it would only be fitting if we too created a mammoth too. Anyhow, it'd be good practice, maybe one days the species that go extinct before our very eyes will have a way to be brought back, we have to start somewhere.

As far as I know, they were eating for food and their furs for warmth. Not game hunting.

I think you spend far too much time contemplating taxation.

Do you scream "Ron Paul" while making love to your woman?
