Slope researchers plan to resurrect MAMMOTHS in 5 years.

One day it will be illegal but someone is going to clone a human ,possibly a deceased loved one because they can't live without (him/her)The million dollar question is will it be that same person or a look a like with different traits?

I can see people wanting to clone exceptional athletes too.

they will never be the same, personality is a bio-psico-social mixture, time, culture, location, peers, weather, parenting, siblings or lack of siblings, fashion, technology and information, everything goes in the mix, it is pretty much impossible to make them the same way.

Most people carry moments in their life that may not be recreated (natural disaster, wise words, passing of a loved one, special moments) that make imprints in their lives and the way they act.

Not even identical twins brought up in the same house by the same parents in the same school and era are the same, now imagine decades apart....

I just need to know 2 things:

1) Will it taste like chicken?

2) Can someone alert Ted Williams' head at Alcor?

I wonder what Mammoth tastes like.

Maybe they're cloning them because they are running low on whale meat?

Researchers aim to resurrect mammoth in five years

(AFP) – 12 hours ago


TOKYO — Japanese researchers will launch a project this year to resurrect the long-extinct mammoth by using cloning technology to bring the ancient pachyderm back to life in around five years time, a report said.

The researchers will try to revive the species by obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian research laboratory, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported.

"Preparations to realise this goal have been made," Akira Iritani, leader of the team and a professor emeritus of Kyoto University, told the mass-circulation daily.

Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cells from which the nuclei have been removed to create an embryo containing mammoth genes, it said.

The embryo will then be inserted into an elephant's womb in the hope that the animal will eventually give birth to a baby mammoth. Researches hope to achieve their aim within five to six years, the Yomiuri said.

The team, which has invited a Russian mammoth researcher and two US elephant experts into the project, has already established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells.

The researchers had once given up similar plans after nuclei in the cells of mammoth skin and muscle tissue were damaged by ice crystals and proved unusable.

However, another Japanese researcher, Teruhiko Wakayama of the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology, succeeded in cloning a mouse from the cells of another that had been kept in deep-freeze for 16 years.

Based on Wakayama's techniques, Iritani's team devised a method to extract the nuclei of mammoth eggs without damaging them.

"If a cloned embryo can be created, we need to discuss, before transplanting it into the womb, how to breed (the mammoth) and whether to display it to the public," Iritani said.

"After the mammoth is born, we will examine its ecology and genes to study why the species became extinct and other factors."

More than 80 percent of all mammoth finds have been dug up in the permafrost of the vast Sakha Republic in eastern Siberia. The most perfectly preserved remains of the Ice Age mammals still have hair and internal organs.

Hopefully some horrifying virus doesn't get unleashed. Who knows, because you can do it doesn't mean it should be done.

It is my firm belief just about everything imaginable we have seen in movies has came true or will sooner or later in the future, first it will be a mammoth ,eventually a T-Rex just to see if it can be done, of course scientists will start with the less timid species first,
Remember the star Trek transponders,well today we have cell phones that function like that and more.Lasar weapons used to be science fiction.steath fighter planes,drones all of this was unheard of years ago.
Computers are getting faster ,smarter and technology is approaching warp speed!

Have you seen that movie Soylent Green?
