Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Regenerating a Mammoth for $10 Million by Nicholas Wade Scientists are talking for the first time about the old idea of resurrecting extinct species as if this staple of science fiction is a realistic possibility, saying that a living mammoth could perhaps be regenerated for as little as $10 million. The same technology could be applied to any other extinct species from which one can obtain hair, horn, hooves, fur or feathers, and which went extinct within the last 60,000 years, the effective age limit for DNA... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/20/science/...amp;ref=science Cool.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 I for one would like to hear Jeff Goldblum's opinion on this matter.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 So I guess I'll start buying season tickets to Jurassic Park.
Guest Vitamin X Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 What are you asking us to do, PLAY GOD?
Anakin Flair Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 "These scientists are so obsessed over wether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." Funny thing is I just watched Jurassic Park.
CBright7831 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Awesome, I've always wanted a T-Rex as a pet: We have a T-Rex!
2GOLD Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I'm waiting for the remix of Sexy Back: WE'RE BRINGIN' MAMMOTHS BACK
Gary Floyd Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 To think, I finished reading Jurassic Park last night,
DMann2003 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Michael Chriton dies, and scientists can't wait to start cloning dinosaurs! "You bred Raptors?!?"
Scroby Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 We're gonna be soooo fucked aren't we?
Lord of The Curry Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 If they're smart they read up on the dude in Jurassic Park that wanted to clone mini-dino's instead of true life ones. Too bad said guy ended up getting ripped apart by baby t-rexes in The Lost World.
Gary Floyd Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Honestly, I want to get an opinion from the director of "Carnosaur."
Dobbs 3K Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I don't know. They've been talking about bringing back the mammoth for years now. You'd think if it was really possible, someone would have done it by now...especially since an elephant to a mammoth wouldn't seem to be that big of a jump.
Twisted Intestine Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, just glue some pubes on him and call it a day.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Posted November 21, 2008 Dobbs--always naysaying!
Grungy Punk Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Bringing back huge species like that could be a disaster. It sounds like a sci-fi movie where a species comes back from extinction from human experiments and then starts killing a lot of people.
Jingus Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Hey, if it means bringing more Summer Glau into our lives, I'm all for the vicious-tusked mammocalypse.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Hey, if it means bringing more Tom Skeritt into our lives, I'm all for the vicious-tusked mammocalypse.
