Wa could possibly go wrong?

I think it’s a very interesting concept and one I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing.
However the wouldn’t make a Jurassic Park, they’d make one, display it and some moron would think it would be a nice trophy kill.

We already have one...in the White House...they call her Michelle.

On the other hand, there's plenty of food around.

Even if it looks like a real mammoth, I don’t think it will be genuine. They managed to breed cows back to the original auruchs, but it didn’t behave like anything like them.

The mammoth at least makes some sense to want to try to bring back (when demoKKKrat cities finally bottom out, they'll need some sort of a prey animal which can be killed with stone weapons). The thing we REALLY don't want to bring back is the Neanderthal...

These grant-sucking idiots are much like the Pharoah’s magicians in the time of Moses. When God sent the plague of frogs, they showed their powers by creating MORE frogs. Such is the conceit of “experts.”

It would be fascinating to see these extinct animals, but so many things could go wrong it’s not worth it.
Risk is probably fairly low with large animals, but extinction event scary if they start doing this with microbes.
To: LibWhacker
Obviously the genetic material is not intact. At some time or other there will be a successful birth, and in the excitement, scientists will overlook the genetic defects.

Saber Tooth Tiger? Well maybe it would get rid of the wolves in Idaho problems. :-)

Don’t fool with Mother Nature, fellows. This isn’t going to work out well, long-term.

As scientists come to understand the subtleties of DNA, they wouldn’t even need an intact copy to reproduce it. In theory, they could resurrect the T-Rex from a chicken. It’s just a matter of understanding how DNA works.

Thanks LibWhacker.
Okay, and I'm slippin', I can't remember who around here really likes mammoths...
Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |
