Scientists believe it may be possible to clone a woolly mammoth within five years after finding well-preserved bone marrow in a thigh bone recovered from permafrost soil in Siberia.

Teams from Russia's Sakha Republic's mammoth museum and Japan's Kinki University will launch fully-fledged joint research next year aiming to recreate the giant mammal, Japan's Kyodo News reported from Yakutsk, Russia.

By replacing the nuclei of egg cells from an elephant with those taken from the mammoth's marrow cells, embryos with mammoth DNA can be produced, Kyodo said, citing the researchers.

Uhm...

so i saw a movie on netflix about this once. they wanted to do the same thign, thawed out the mammtoh and it came with some flesh eating parasite that was damn near unstoppable. lets see if it can become true

Yeah, bringing back the dead and extinct is just a bad idea.

Somethings are dead and extinct for a damned good reason.

I really wish scientists would stop this kind of stuff. This has Jurassic Park written all over it.

Hold up. First, they need to get a bill legalized so we can eat this!

That was perfect, Avahra. I laughed hard. lol

Hell I'd eat mammoth. Ancestral breakfast of champions.

I'm fascinated and scared at the same time. I think it would be cool as hell to do it, but what does it lead to?
