De-extinction of the Mammoth

[Paulie Dangerously]

It's looking increasingly likely we're going to see a Mammoth/Elephant hybrid in our lifetime.

Bringing back a creature which has been extinct for thousands of years obviously conjures up a range of reactions from "wow that's cool" to "no that's not right" 

 

What say ye GF?

 

Personally I think it's fantastic that we're at a point in science where this scifi fantasy is becoming a reality.  I think it'd be fascinating to create a creature resembling this ancient giant but deep down I know it's not going to be a true Mammoth so I'm thinking "what's the point?"  There's no way they'd release a shed load of them into the wild so all it's going to be is a zoo attraction so for me it's a no. 

[Mook]

I've been working next to one for seven years.

[Stickman]

I don't get it?, surely in a modern world Mammoths would be irrelephant

[Lee909]

Shouldn't be done imo.

 

As cool as it would be id rather see the money being spent to make sure that animals now do not go the same way.

 

Also have these cunts not seen jurassic park

[Jim MM]

No way. It's a hairy elephant. Cunt would be all backpacking and surfing and shit instead of being a proper elephant. Proper elephants are sound.

[Jairzinho]

It's gone, get over it.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

A Mammoth No.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Yes, because cloning's been rubbish thus far. We're going to wipe ourselves out no matter what, so we may as well populate the earth with other animals before we go.

I would think the science involved in recreating a mammoth, or something like it, could be used to stop other species going extinct. Or at least be used for other useful purposes. I don't think it's scientists doing stuff just for the sake of it.

Can I order a velociraptor?

[JagSquared]

Bit harsh us bringing back an animal designed to survive in colder temperatures when we've fucked the planet with global warming.

 

"There ya go son. Now sweat ya bollocks off"

[Sputnik1]

Money that could be spent forwarding medical science (or just science) in better areas.

They'd just shear them and make some designer shit for the "Must have" wank brigade. Meanwhile Iceland will have a whole range of frozen mammoth shit.  

[SlugTrail]

Imagine the possibilities.......

[Anubis]

It's a nice idea but we all know it won't stop with the mammoth. You'll have the Pentagon asking about the possibility of T-Rex's.

[Tony Moanero]

Hairy bollocks

What qualification do you have to make a comment like that?

[Elite]

It's another advancement in science which could lead to greater things or maybe wipe out the human race when they create super intelligent dinosaurs with arms in proportion.

[cloggypop]

Surely it wouldn't be a mammoth but rather some sort of mammothant.

[Alan Sex]

I approve, but only if they can make small cute ones so I can keep a minimammoth as a pet.

[cloggypop]

A minimammothant sounds boss but I bet the little hairy get wouldn't be able to keep his trunk off the table and out of the fruit basket.

[Adebisi]

The zoos are full. Beat it mammoths. Coming over here stealing the awe and wonder usually reserved for whales, Elephants and such.

Beat me too it. 

[polymerpunkah]

 

Just keep the damn thing away from my pot-bellied pig.

[jimmycase]

Nah, not for me. It wont be a mamouth anyway. It'll be an elephant with some mamouth traits. That's if it survives.
