Interesting about the cloning. I suppose they would use an elephant to impregnate but there are no guarentees it would work. The resulting clone may not be healthy.. or it may even be sterile. Yikes!

No, WE won't see anything, but our clones, now they will see all.

MJ--what are you saying? que sos la esposa del diablo or something? a walking terremoto?

Weird...................

I went out for lunch and some guy started screaming at me that the world is going to end, blah blah blah, something about the revolution, yada yada yada, so I asked him, "Do I look like the devil?"

Hmmmm.....

I think cows should stop farting too much, they are the root of all this destruction.

I personally blame the Decepticons

@ X.. u're right.. it would be stupid of them to not consider the impact on the ecosystem... hmm.. either way. should be interesting to see if its even possible BUT i just don't think its right.

@ MJ..

i just believe in the natural order of things... prevention is key when it comes to extinction... besides, we're not talking about an animal that went extinct a year ago... this is 10,000 years ago!

whatevs... i guess we'll see as the story unfolds.

hey i know u don't like luna but no need to call her a cow

and thats just my point about parents wanting their kids to be better and all the stress they put on them, now think of it having a mini me of urself, I'm sure people will be even worst.

NOOOO that's so morbid! I dunno.. I have an issue with cloning.. its just not right.. its not how things were intended to happen.. but then again, who am i to say science shouldn't advance to unthinkable limits.. bah! i still dont like cloning..

and btw.. they may clone one woolly mammoth but if all goes well, they'll clone another and another and another and then ya... their intention is to clone so they can resurrect the species.. they even say it in the article.

So what's the problem? Better to remain extinct?

@Guada: F@ck no!!!! There's a reason why my mother only had one child!!!!!

Speaking of cloning, imagine for a second that it was allowed. Would you have yourself cloned, and then take care of your baby cloned self?

If you're a female, would you want to be pregnant with you.

I think i would.

nope, i think it would just bring more problems than anything else, i mean people just go crazy knowing that they are pregnant, now imagine knowing that u r pregnant with urself? crazy!!!

plus if the kid was ever to be born, I'm sure the kid would have a hard time becuase the parents would want it to do what they where not able to do, even more so knowing that is "them"...

Scientists hope the animal might yield DNA samples that could be used to clone and effectively resurrect the extinct members of the elephant family.

Like I said prior to your posting............just clone it!!!

Oh right...........that part.

I was reading another article where they wanted to inject its DNA into the egg of an Asian elephant.

Yeah, clone the damn thing!!!!

yes, that as well.

u guys talk about it like if they are going to clone hundreds of them, for educational purposes i think is a gr8 idea to clone one.

This is the coolest $hit I've read about in a LONG TIME!!!!!!!!

Scientists unveiled the discovery Wednesday of a baby mammoth found in the permafrost of north-west Siberia.

The remains of the six-month-old female mammoth were discovered in a remarkable state of preservation on the Yamal peninsula of Russia in May, a Reuters report said. The specimen is believed to be the best of its kind to date.

A reindeer herder found the frozen animal in May near the Yuribei River, in Russia's Yamal-Nenets autonomous district.

The animal is thought to have died 10,000 years ago and experts say the approximately four foot tall, 50kg Siberian specimen dates to the end of the last Ice Age, when the great beasts were vanishing off the face of the planet.

Scientists hope the animal might yield DNA samples that could be used to clone and effectively resurrect the extinct members of the elephant family.

A delegation of international experts were in Salekhard last week, near where the mammoth was found, to conduct a preliminary examination of the carcass, which will be transferred to Jikei University in Tokyo, Japan, a Reuters report said.

Experts are expected to carry out an extensive study of the specimen, including CT scans of its internal organs.

The animal is remarkably well-preserved with it's trunk and eyes still intact. Some of the infant mammoth's fur is also still on the body. While the mammoth has not yielded the kind of DNA that could be used in cloning, scientists remain optimistic.

Some believe the right find is bound to emerge from Siberia that will make cloning or resurrecting the animal -- by injecting sperm into the egg of a relative such as the Asian elephant -- a reality.

Mammoths first appeared in the Pliocene Epoch, 4.8 million years ago. They possessed long, curved tusks along with a coat of long hair.

The cause of their widespread disappearance at the end of the last Ice Age remains unclear; but climate change, overkill by human hunters, or a combination of both could have been to blame.

One population of mammoths lived on in isolation on Russia's remote Wrangel Island until about 5,000 years ago.

Siberian mammoth specimens were lost to a lucrative trade in ivory, skin, hair and other body parts. Local people are now scouring the Siberian permafrost for remains to sell.
