cmon.. they will die in sight of every common virus/bacteriae.
just think of it, their immune system is at the level from 20.000 years before.
I read something about this in something similiar to andromeda strain(sorta) that basically the diseases wont be adapted to infect their older immune systems(like a space borne virus wont be able to effect ours) and will actually die rather than kill them.
or something like that

Man, I sure wish there were some dinosaurs stuck in permafrost!

Are they even close enough species? Probably will be rejected or have huge birth defects.
I'd watch it too since SK has their scientists working on it. Probably will fake the whole thing and take grant money.

Cloning extinct animals will inevitably have consequences. If they ever reach a point they can successfully clone this animal and continue to do so, it's only a matter of time before a few escape and integrate into the wild. Hundreds of accidental introductions throughout history. Africanized bee
It would be pretty sick to visit jurassic park in my lifetime, though.

Cloned animals are sterile, no? What would it matter if one escaped, without human aid it would have no ability to survive outside of its natural habitat, which no longer exists. Not to mention, it's a fucking mammoth. They're not exactly hard to spot.

What's the next step after mammoth ? Humans.
And i believe there are already labs researching for it or doing it.
inb4 savior baby.
You figured they would have already cloned mammoths..? And yet you've never seen a living one... Don't you think if humans were able to bring an extinct creature back to life, it would be big news or something?

Cloning is interesting and riddled with moral dilemmas...but I still think this is so cool. xD
|
I feel like we'd just hunt them back into extinction if they were ever re-introduced to the wild.
|
I don't see how this could be something bad.. Im all for see the mammoth.. would be really cool if something liek this happened before I die!!

This is how the world ends. We think a meteor hit the Earth. No. Mammoths transformed into avatars of death and destroyed everything. It will happen again. 2012. The Mayans were right.

what no brobrah! we must tame them , and see our car replace by awesome wolly mammoth
now the road rage would be freaking epic fight

you guys wanna see real living dinosaurs? they're flying all around us and some of us are going to eat some of them for dinner. and i'm not even trolling.

So... Birds are descendants of dinosaurs, therefore birds are dinosaurs. It don't work like that

One step closer to Jurassic Park!!
Edit - I do not see any ethical dilemmas here. We are not talking about humans or anything. I have no qualms about cloning animals, esp. those driven to extinction by human actions (Dodo etc). I do not see why my generation and those after me should be denied the sight of these magnificent creatures.

Would be awesome if they succeeded. Want to see a live mammoth in my lifetime. :D
|
I wonder how they will breed it when the embryo its created. Will they host it on an elephant?

I think that the future of technology like this is an interesting way to show how humanity and an advancing society can be a force for creating just as well as destroying.
I mean, the advancement of our civilization has wiped out countless species and are driving more towards extinction but we also have the power to be the opposite. Imagine the long term future of technology like this.
I can very much see how in the far future we will be able to have a database containing the genome of every animal, plant, insect etc on earth living now, that combined with the capacity to actually recreate life forms as long as you know their genetic structures would allow human beings to be the wardens of life on earth. Imagine a massive catastrophe like the many mass extinctions in the past, with our digital "ark" we could recreate the eco system even if the planet is left barren.

Why do I get the feeling this creature, if successfully cloned, will turn out to have 7 asses?
