What's the point of having it cloned? I don't think it will be a success..although we might have some nice mammoth meat for ourselves.

I think it is an amazing discovery but I done think the cloning will work either and we should stop trying to play God it is extinct for a reason.

It's a whole lot easier for us to study a living mammoth than one that's been dead for tens of thousands of years. Also, keep in mind, the Mammoths didn't go extinct from climate change. Modern theories suggest early man overhunted them. Odds are, they'd still be roaming the colder regions of the Earth today.

i read a report a few years back,and it stated that we could clone a mammoth,from the adult they found some years ago,BUT it would be many generation to get the full mammoth from the elephant,so it all sounds like a waste of time to me as well,besides,they died off,maybe due to man maybe due to climate,but .......they died......let them be....

I think it's pretty cool! I think they want to Clone it- to see how it acts (as compared to the Elephant- its present day great, great- grandchild). Also- FORGET about eating it; such a cloned animal from the past- would be PRICELESS...-so they could clone 50 of them & wouldn't be enough to cover all the biggest zoos in the World.
