Woolly mammoth cells brought back to life in shocking scientific achievement

Absolutely... That would be my concern. They might also be reconstructing hitch hikers we truly don’t need. It is a BAD concept, it’s over let it be...

Sounds like a motto for the Mad Scientists Union.

So, if science can create brain eating zombies they should create brain eating zombies?

Yes, and station them on the border.

Climate change...actually happened rather dramatically after the Noahic Flood. After the vapor canopy around the earth collapsed, combined with the upheaval of the ocean beds, geysers of lava from undersea volcanoes,the climate changed from a sub-tropical Eden to a cold, forbidding one, especially in the newly created polar caps. The woolys were caught and quick-frozen at minus F temps, some with buttercups in their mouths. The woolly hairs on the mammoth were hollow and designed to take away body heat, not to insulate as the evolution model suggests. Read The World that Perished, an excellent and Biblically accurate explanation of what happened.

You approve of the work of Unit 731 and Dr. Mengele?

One theory is that the mammoth was hunted to extinction by neolithic man. Some of the scientists involved with this project argue that on that basis it is our responsibility to resurrect the mammoth.

Anyway, I know at least one high fence game preserve in Texas where they're champing at the bit to sell the trophy fee on the first woolly mammoth for the killing in nearly 4000 years. That resurrection thing is toothpaste that won't go back in the tube.

“GMO human clones coming soon.”

Good.

Only reason I didn’t have kids is that I couldn’t specify them, like in GATTACA.

“A mouse with a trunk and tusks if we’re lucky.”

Nope, you’re getting a mammoth with beady eyes, teeth that never stop growing, and an insatiable appetite for cheese.

Is this the one with Chita Rivera and Charo?

[Vinnie]

In the extinction reason they left out ‘loss of habitat’.
That always enters into the equation. :-)

[DesertRhino]

Meh, a woolly mammoth isn’t exactly going to escape and destroy Los Angeles like some kinda T-Rex. There’s a chick mentality out there that spends their life terrified of cool stuff like this.

Bring back the mammoth!

If anyone is real worried about them I can show them how to strike two special rocks together to produce a sharp edge.

The quaqqa has been brought back from the dead. But that was selective breeding of characteristics always present in the plains zebra.

There is no living mammoth to breed back to. Reviving the quaqqa was child’s play compared to what it would take to bring the mammoth back to life again.

All of that will remain speculation for the foreseeable future.

Science that CAN be done, SHOULD be done.

Like abortion?

[UpInArms]

However, researchers caution that it's unlikely the extinct creatures will walk the Earth again anytime soon.
It has already been done! Look!

[Carriage Hill]

It’s not fear of the Woolly Mammoth; it’s what comes afterward, resurrecting things and people who are better-off extinct, than alive.

Nefarious messing with DNA is a bad road to go down, yet much can be gained from constructive experimentation. All kinds of medical and life-betterment and extension achievements are possible.

I’d drop both that Mammoth and T-Rex with my .50cal, and BBQ them. I can’t imagine gutting, skinning and field-dressing that Mammoth or Rex, but you’re invited to help and eat your brains out.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hey! Have you ever looked at Helen Thomas and Rosie O’Donnell? Proof positive that the Wooly Mammoths did NOT die out.
