Should scientists try to clone the woolly mammoth? :)

[TheBigUnit]

.yes

[Harry Smith]

No, it wouldn't achieve anything. The animal went extinct for a reason

[removeddddd]

more meat

[Walter Powers]

Does it taste good?

[tovaris]

Why?
Besides they cant.

[lightPainting]

Does it taste good?

Im sure it will taste like chicken

[Emerald Dream]

I am curious to know why they would want to even do this...?

[Jess]

I don't think it can survive in our current environments

[Camazotz]

Nah, it sounds expensive for no other reason than personal enjoyment.

[removeddddd]

more food? unless you think it's unethical which I don't. To those who do, why? Millions of other animals are being slaughtered for our nourishment...well some of us anyway.

[MrDaniel2K13]

Its too expensive and probably wouldn't work

[TheDeepestDepths]

For what reason would we bring them back?

It sounds unbelievably corny but I've always believed in the balance of nature. Every single species has it's place in nature, but also every species has its time to end. It's different now, when humans control so much of the world that we are responsible for the endangerment and extinction of animals. Mammoths were destroyed by nature, mankind helped certainly, but if mammoths were supposed to survive then they would have. They had their chance.

[QuantumPhysics]

Why do we want to bring them back? It died because of natural selection. If we bring it back it would upset every food chain. Its a huge animal, I think its bigger than an elephant. But how can we control a huge mammal if we cant even control mosquitoes.

[Yolo98]

What's the point ...

[sqishy]

If it is to find out more about prehistory by learning about the species, yes. Thereafter they should be destroyed of prevented from living.

Species of the past do not belong in the world of now. That may one day apply to us.

[Spook]

I don't get why these people are trying to bring back the dead. Especially frikkin' wooly mammoths and dinosaurs.

WOOLY MAMMOTHS ARE TECHNICALLY LARGE ELEPHANTS WITH DEADLY TRUNKS.

DINOSAURS ARE VICIOUS TOOTHY REPTILIAN CREEPERS.

Scientists are trying to get us killed.

[Human]

I think we should for scientific reasons, but we shouldn't bring back entire hoards of them.

[Mushin]

Should scientists try to clone the woolly mammoth? :)

Sure, why not? It would be pretty cool to see a woolly mammoth if you ask me. There may not be any practical use to reviving the woolly mammoth from extinction other than an attraction. But not all of science is used only for productive purposes. It's used just for entertainment too.

Scientists have already tried once before actually, but the process failed due to the ice crystals damaging the cell. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8257223/Mammoth-could-be-reborn-in-four-years.html) Eventually i'm sure we will be capable of resurrecting the woolly mammoth, and a hand full of other extinct animals as well.

[Capto]

Bring em back.


It'll make most of Siberia at least somewhat interesting.

[Drag0nite]

If wooly mammoths where to be clonnned they would a) die off and all that work for nothing b) animal act extremist would try to "save" it get killed in the processes and a realease a mammoth to reck havock or c) lots o money

[AlexanderTheGreat]

No, it wouldn't achieve anything. The animal went extinct for a reason

But it might give us more clues about evolution and how animals came to be how they were.

(ALSO IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL!!! HEHHEHEHEHHE!!)

Don't see why not.

[kylem1229]

No point in it, they would go extinct again anyways, people would hunt and kill them, etc.
