27vet Posted April 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Can they clone it? Would it be a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted April 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2019 That's pretty cool. Actual liquid from 42000 years ago. I hope they successfully clone it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the frog Posted April 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We are losing living species and in the same time trying to revive some alive 40000 years ago...it look like some kind of paradox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with this one, I understand it'd be quite a breakthrough but we should be focusing more on saving the animals that are dying off at alarming rates in the modern world, not the ones that have been dead for tens of millennia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Original Link: The researchers are hoping to clone the species by extracting and growing viable somatic cells. If this can be achieved, it would be a major step towards resurrecting the woolly mammoth. Now that would be a trick....resurrecting the woolly mammoth from the blood of a horse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more like putting gas in your car. Your just going to burn through it, but you keep filling the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
