How very exciting.
Surely if god had meant mammoths to survive he wouldn't have ended the ice age? Isn't this just another case of man playing god?

Re: De-extincting mammoths

Just because we can does not mean we should especially as we don't look after the species that we have at present.

I was actually being ironic as Bakerman has a deep belief in all things godly, whereas I, in fact, am the greatest heretic ever to walk the earth...

Re: De-extincting mammoths

I can see both sides of the story here, yes it would be very exciting to bring back extinct creatures but as others have said, it wouldn't take long for man to turn it to his advantage.

I love the concept though. They could bring back Frank Sinatra.
