Good points on the revivification of pathogens, but doubtful if these were healthy, migrating critters that walked into a blizzard.

I doubt the mammoth was fast frozen like chicken parts now a days. We're dealing with too few specimens to make generalizations.

Good to hear from you, SoDak, and congratulations on your Daschle extinction event!

I guess part of what I wrote was quite stupid. If we are able to extract DNA, we won't be awakening pathogens in the carcasses. If we can get good DNA, it's all good, I say raise the mammoth. Oh, and thanks for the Congrats. I'm still thrilled two weeks later.
