bring back extinct species
last year we got good woolly mammoth dna samples and once we perfect cloning we may be able to clone an elephant into a woolly mammoth
bwahaha |

actually most mammoths weren't much bigger than modern elephants. there were only a few species that were larger than elephants. (and only marginally, not in any spectacular way) |

| Isn't this based on the regrowth of stem cells or something like that? |

"clone an elephant into a woolly mammoth"
the way modern cloning works you don't turn an individual animal into another one.
"cloning =/= creating fetuses
bwahaha"
actually it's exactly that.. how would it be born? we're not at the level where we can just 3d print a full grown organism. the easiest way to "clone" an animal right now would be to take zygote or something and fill it with this recovered dna of an extinct species, then put that zygote into the reproductive organs of the closest living relative (in this case an elephant). then it matures if everything works out well and instead of an elephant you get a woolly mammoth being born. |
