How a simple question like "what do you think of the cloning of mammoths?" gets answers like "beware of raptors" is beyond me. i thought jurassic park was fictional, turns out its someones home made real life documentory!
What a way to find out!
on a serious note, it is in every human beings interest to research and to know. the more we know, the closer we are to answering the big question.
imo cloning and studying mammoths doesnt get us very far in our quest to answer that question and so thus imo is pointless.
maybe we will find out why these animals came to be extinct, although we are pretty sure already, the huge comet theory tends to answer most questions about the end of that era.
(for jack and diggo: WINK WINK! )
we know how to clone since dolly and research in that domain can benefit our medical knowledge, i dont see how mammoths would help us out there. maybe a live mammoth can produce certain hormones to keep Gordon Ramseys hair from falling out! who knows?
Instead of being weary of some japanese guys cloning mammoths, we should be a lot more weary about other studies that are a lot more dangerous and a lot more relevant.
For instance check out what scientists are doing in switzerland:
Large Hadron Collider
This is the type of experiment they do, in very simple terms: they accelerate a particle one way, another particle the other way, as they go around they accelerate faster and faster and then collide.
Scientists "observe" the results and then perform a new test.
We know so little of this type of experiment that the range of possible outcomes is infinite.
Indeed, it ranges from "no result whatsoever" to "A huge black hole is created, the size of our universe, and we are all sucked in instantly"
Worrying about cloning mammoths is ultimately futile.
