the world doesn’t seem to be the worse for their absence. surely these people can find a more prudent use of their time.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Others say four years.

“Researchers aim to resurrect mammoth in five years”

The REALLY BIG problem: can the voters resurrect the Elephant Party in two years?

[SIDENET]

I want to see them create a zombie/cyborg mammoth.

[NonValueAdded]

Did none of them watch Jurassic Park? /semisarc

[Tijeras_Slim]

I want genetically tailored trilobites that will serve as coasters and trivets.

[Cyber Ninja]

Are mammoth tasty?

(Assuming a no-s plural...)

[21twelve]

Russian lab?

Japanese scientist?

What could go wrong? (Other than a lot of bad lipsynching ala “Godzilla” movie style)

[ConservativeChris]

Umm.........Do these guys ever watch TV? It always goes bad, and the next thing you know people are dying and the thing ALWAYS gets away to come back later meaner and bigger.

[docbnj]

This sounds really neat, but I very much doubt that the mammoth cells have been frozen perfectly enough (without occasional thawing) to contain a complete genome of the animal.

If they are worried about whether to display the young mammoth to the public, they are getting way, way ahead of themselves.

[Cheetahcat]

Great another protected species comming up,Lets bring back the DoDo bird as well for them to play with.

[pissant]

Then they’ll have to re-create cavemen and saber tooth tigers when the Mammoth population gets out of control

[SERKIT]

I see a Geico commercial in their future: Cloning a mammoth? So easy a cavemen could do it, ya jackwagon!

[piytar]

If they succeed, doesn?t that render the whole endangered species act and other such crud obsolete? After all, extinction itself will be extinct...

[hosepipe]

The Japanese!... <<- (Eddie Murphy laugh)..

[TheBattman]

Jurassic Park, the Reality Show????

[6SJ7]

Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cell from which the nuclei have been removed, to create an embryo containing mammoth genes, the report said.

Boy, is that elephant in for a rude surprise

[OneWingedShark]

Yummy!
I can’t wait for Mammoth Steak.

[Little Pig]

I, for one, welcome our new pachyderm overlords.

Actually, it would be nice to restore the North American branch of the pachyderm family. Africa and Asia have had all the fun for too long. I’d imagine mammoths could do ok up in the Yukon/NW Territories/North Slope area, though they might be a bit of a headache for the drilling sites.

[fidelis]

Proof positive that OTHER country’s scientists can also get a gubmint grant for whatever improbable pipe dream that enters their little heads.
