Wa could possibly go wrong?

I think it’s a very interesting concept and one I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing.

However the wouldn’t make a Jurassic Park, they’d make one, display it and some moron would think it would be a nice trophy kill.

We already have one...in the White House...they call her Michelle.

Even if it looks like a real mammoth, I don’t think it will be genuine. They managed to breed cows back to the original auruchs, but it didn’t behave like anything like them.

The mammoth at least makes some sense to want to try to bring back (when demoKKKrat cities finally bottom out, they'll need some sort of a prey animal which can be killed with stone weapons). The thing we REALLY don't want to bring back is the Neanderthal...

These grant-sucking idiots are much like the Pharoah’s magicians in the time of Moses. When God sent the plague of frogs, they showed their powers by creating MORE frogs. Such is the conceit of “experts.”

Yeah!! Bring back the Dodo Bird!

Obviously the genetic material is not intact. At some time or other there will be a successful birth, and in the excitement, scientists will overlook the genetic defects.

What could possibly go wrong?

Saber Tooth Tiger? Well maybe it would get rid of the wolves in Idaho problems. :-)

Don’t fool with Mother Nature, fellows. This isn’t going to work out well, long-term.

Not everything that can be done should be done.

[wildbill]

I’m feeling really smug since for years I’ve been predicting this de-extinction movement would become operative.

Maybe this is why Homeland Security is buying millions of rounds of ammo? Defending against mammoths makes about as much sense as buying up 100 years worth of practice rounds.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

If it’s wrong for man to force a species into extinction isn’t it just as wrong to bring one back?

Here are some pics from the site:

The mythical Aurochs is not a myth at all, actually. It is the ancestor of domestic cattle and lived throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. They died off in 1627.

2. The Dodo is known for being really dumb — but really it was just fearless because it evolved without any natural predators.

6. The Mastodon is an extinct species related to elephants that lived in North and Central America.

9. The legendary Helanadon survived in the eastern regions of the USA for hundreds of years. This beast was well respected in small circles of primarily disreputable denizens of low intelligence.

You knew it was coming.
