According to this news article, they can finally attempt to clone an exinct animal.

What do you think about cloning something that has been extinct for thousands, maybe even millions, of years?
What are your 'for' statements and what are your 'against' statements?

i think its possible, if they had the dna and suff then i bet they could do it

So what do you think is good about the cloning of the animals, and what do you think is bad?

Oh, I heard about that. I think it will be good because it could give us more insight into the theory of evolution and why these animals became extinct.

Is it just me or does this sound exactly like the premise for Jurassic Park? XD
Anyway, it does sound like a good idea, I guess.

Yes it's possible.

Kthnxbye

VEEERY POSSIBLE.Hmm..animals I would clone
Thylacine(Tasmanian Tiger)
Dodo
Mammoths
Dinosuars(plant eaters only)
Gigantopithacus
Wooly Rhinos
American Camel
I'll think of more....

One I'de clone: ENGLISH CHEETAH.
Great Brittain DID have cheetahs...and so did north america...they mysteriously died out...the only ones that survived where african ones...but they are inbred...meaning they are all eachothers brothers and sisters.

they can definatly do it, but the moral issues are huge
the populations would become so inbred

IceFox · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2005, 02:30:50 am »

Seriously, Bin Laden or something would love to get a hold of this data! Dinosours behold!

Dragon Of Grief · « **Reply #11 on:** June 29, 2005, 07:02:34 pm »

Why would you want too though? What if they used to be like really vicious and mean?

Messing with Mother Earth = BADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBAD

REMEMBER: We are the cause of many animal extinctions, such as the DoDo, Tasmanian Tiger and Ancient Bear, Ancient Wolf and possibly the Mammoth.
We're monsters, but we can bring back what we killed...and hopefully give it a second chance.

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2005, 02:34:46 am »

but the population would become so inbred, that after a while the poor htings would be worse off than before

Thomas · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2005, 06:06:58 am »

it's a shame that humans aren't inbred...or sterile...lol..or something worse than stupid. XD

Offical list of clones:
English Cheetah(could be usefull for overpopulating animals like rabbits,rodents,deer etc,...)
Dodo
American camel(could be very usefull)
Thlacine(to be helpfull with the invading species)
Mammoth
Giganto Pytocus(we'll be able to learn more about evolution)

That is impossible. The only 4 dino's we can even come close to cloning anyway are either super predators, scavangers or weak herbivoirs.

Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Protoceratops and Dryosaurus.
But I do not think they would clone dino's...they had their shot, they died out without human interfearence.
Now Mammoths, DoDo's and Tasmanian Tigers...they would be OK to clone.

yea, the sabertooth Tiger AND the carolina cockateil they should clone! beautiful red cockitiel shot and killed by pochers, last one was shot and kiled in the late 80's? correct me if im wrong. but yes the last one was shot. i thik the birds could be an awesome thing to bring them back!
