Samples have now been sent to South Korea, where scientists say they are planning to use them to clone a mammoth, though the proposal is considered to be highly controversial.....

Did NO ONE pay attention during the movie 'Jurassaic Park'???!?

I saw a baby wooly mammoth in better shape than this one once. It was hairless but the skin was completely intact. The organs were removed and on display.

All the Yankee yo-yo’ wanted to make fun of us Texans for having mammoth size BBQ pits.

Well who’s laughing now?

Unquestionably, undoubtedly, yes!

I have no moral problem with cloning animals, present or past, but not people.

I am concerned that cloning extinct animals, plants, insects, etc. could reintroduce dangerous, extinct pathologies.

Just how big is a woolly mammoth tick filled with a pint of blood?

Now some scientists are talking openly of bringing them back to life.

What?

I am sure I saw one presiding over the Zimmerman trial.

It's inevitable.

Whether we "should" or not is irrelevant in that context.

I’d actually like to see the Wooly Mammoth brought back from extinction, presuming they could breed and repopulate, but we’d have to get Canada or Finland on board as the habitat for these creatures. If they don’t agree, it’s just not going to work.

The quest is to clone a mammoth. The question is: should we do it?

Absolutely. And set it loose in the Capitol building. I'd love to see a gored Harry Reid being flung across the rotunda.

This would certainly be a mammoth undertaking.

Clone the mammoth then release it in Tokyo as bait for Godzilla and a new movie.
