Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post 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.

Grungy Punk 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
