We've been promised ancient frozen extinct beasts before ( Jurassic park series, Encino Man, et.all), but I have a feeling they( science) mean it this time. So this is going to happen in what, 2o years? From what I've heard, the world will be on fire by then, the question is, do we really want to bring an innocent and naive creature into that world? Where will we keep it? I mean I suspect all the climates of the woolly mammoth will be melted and tropical by then. And who would raise the little guy? It would be an orphan- left to the cruel plots of zoolgists who might dress up as a pair of mom and pop woolly mammoths to recreate some normalcy ( see captive bred california condors....
)
)As much as I would like to see these species in the here and now, I'm not sure if I support this effort. Can't we focus on...taking care of the awesome things that are on the verge of extinction? Maybe we can do both.
question: If the opportunity to carry a Neanderthal embryo came along, would you take it?
