BODIES of extinct Ice Age mammals, such as woolly mammoths, that have been frozen in permafrost for thousands of years may contain viable sperm that could be used to bring them back from the dead, scientists said yesterday.
Research has indicated that mammalian sperm can survive being frozen for much longer than was previously thought, suggesting that it could potentially be recovered from species that have died out...

Well, if they use the sperm with an elephant ovum, for instance, we won't have a real mammoth. But it would be interesting to try and clone a mammoth using an elephant denucleated ovum.

Article suggests using elephant eggs...i.e. half-mammoth/half-elephant...A mammophant or an elephammoth?

Going to create the conservative diet plan...a book containing nothing but pictures of Michael Moore, Helen Thomas, Hillary Clinton, and Rosie O'Donnell. Look at the pics before each meal and the just try to eat.
Down side is it might have the side effect of involuntary bulemia.

This is all a pipe-dream from scientists who just want more money for funding. They're a joke just like the scientists in those "Far Side" cartoons.

Thanks for the link. Can't believe MSNBC beat UK Times by more than a half a year on this story.

The story was out way before MSNBC picked it up too. I saw info about it on the Human Genome message boards.
I can't help but wonder if they have had success with it. Did you see this?
