A week or so ago, a nearly perfectly preserved frozen mammoth was found in Siberia. Its discovery reignited the idea that scientists may be able to reconstruct its DNA and use it to clone a living mammoth. Pretending that they could, should they?
Should We Re-create Living Mammoths?
Yes! Vast herds of mammoth roaming Siberia and Northern Canada would be awesome!:48 (66.7%)
Ok, but just enough to put in a park for people to marvel at:5 (6.9%)
One or two for research purposes but that's it:5 (6.9%)
No, no good will come from it. Let the dead remain dead:14 (19.4%)
Total:72

Option 1, cause Canada would have wooly mammoths. How could I have said no to that?

Any species killed off by man should be revived if at all possible. I so want to try those mammoth steaks Barney Rubble goes on about.

You realize, of course, that we'll need to ressurect something that eats mammoths.

I wonder how easily you can extract Smilodon DNA from the La Brea tar pits...

We're North Americans, we'll worry about the consequences after the fact.

If we're gonna spend our time bringing back North American megafauna, my vote goes to the Megatherium.

Im already working on cloneing one of these thingies (Diprotodon)

some website wrote:
History
Wombats, like all the larger living marsupials, are part of the Diprotodontia. The ancestors of modern wombats evolved sometime between 55 and 26 million years ago (no useful fossil record has yet been found for this period) and about 12 species flourished until well into the ice ages. Among the several diprotodon (giant wombat) species was the largest marsupial to have ever lived. The earliest human inhabitants of Australia arrived while diprotodons were still common, and are believed to have brought about their extinction through hunting, habitat alteration, or both.

I think its a sorry state that people are expending energy and time on reviving dead things, while the amount of living species and habitats that we are currently eradicating remains so high.

No bringing back the dead. We are having none of that Jurassic Park crap. First one I find bringing back a ******* dinosaur gets an extra hole in their head. FUcking HATE dinosaurs. Scares the **** out of me.

Yes.

Then global warming could wipe them out again. Nothing says 'pwned' like making a species extinct twice.

Bring 'em back, so we can stick them in zoos and profit off of little kids gaping at them.

Is it feasible anyways to actually do?

We could use herds of these beasts to stop the world hunger problem. Might want to adapt them to African climes though.
