Cross Breeds - do you think scientists will bring any extinct animals back from the dead?

do you think scientists will bring any extinct animals back from the dead?

i read somewhere that some scientists had managed to clone a dead mouse that was frozen in ice, and that this sort of thing could lead to the cloning of mammoths and such that have been found frozen. do you think anyone will ever be able to do it?

I heard that they actually are trying for a Mammoth! COME ON PEOPLE DID YOU NOT WATCH JURASSIC PARK!!!
yea but we all gonna dead by then
yes, it is actually simple. just get the dna and wala, u can clone
There's rumors that they might clone a mammoth by putting its stem cells into a female elephant who would then give birth to the mammoth... VERY cool, I think it would be so interesting if they did that :)
yeah probably the way the world is going with war turning into a video game and gay marrage then yeah i do think we will be able to do it someday
i would like to see a dodo
I heard from a friend that yes it's under research on cloning a mammoth. They've got most of the DNA structure down and are planning on doing it. It also seems that there have been extinct species created and reintroduced into the wild. I'm not positive for that one tho.
Yes they can do it but the clones end up with many health problems, reproductive difficulties and shorter life spans. They will have to do some fancy foot work with the genes in order to have viable outcomes and viable life.
They're able to bring back animals from the past but it's not likely that it would happen b/c it wouldn't benefit mankind.
My opinion definitely possible Id really really like to see one of those massive sloths that grow to 5 meters.
Only the quagga, by selective breeding of the plains zebra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quagga#Quagga_hybrids_and_similar_animals
It has been my most desirable "bed-wetting" wish since I heard about the Mammoth... but i hope they don't clone raptors nor the T-rex nor things that could fly...
according to your source, they already did!. there is no real difference between a dead individual of an extinct species and one from an extant (currently alive) species, and cloning them is just as possible (provided they are both conserved to an extent.
