Scientists hope to clone extinct species

and the neatherthal..wait a minute, geico already did

individualate?

I'm not familiar with that term or the idea of proofreading my own posts either.

That term was lifted directly from Anna of Infinite Power, where several 12-year-old clones of a brilliant European Jewish scientist start to develop differences (spoiler: it's revealed at the end that one of these clones is being taught piano by the 25-year-old "Model 0" clone who had gone totally different earlier)

Cloning is just wrong, IMO.

can they clone ronald reagan by 2012?

Sans Alzheimer's genes. I was brought to tears by Nancy Reagan at his funeral.

At least this way we could clone back into existence those species we ourselves have or are about to put away for good. You know- those we like to kill, kill, and kill. Who knows- perhaps there is a lot of money to be made in this field.

interesting..i need to check into that

wow, we could write a movie script based on cloning extinct animals...or dinos

lol...we could call it, Jerry's Park.

they're extinct for a reason. they shouldn't mess with nature. we're all gonna die someday because of it.

There are some animals that are extict becasue of human - I hope these are the ones they try first..

A correction: the film was actually titled Anna TO the Infinite Power, released in 1993 and based on a sci-fi novel by Mildred Ames.

In all actuality they'll probably hit species with economical value to us first as a way of funding more ecological cloning projects. And to give some more time to increase genetic variability through some backcrossing (backbreeding) of cloned subjects.

Well, there have already been species "resurrected" prior to cloning such as:

• Tarpan (Eurasian "true" wild horse, quite different than mustangs which are descended from feral horses)
• Aurochs (wild Eurasian ancestor of domestic cattle)

both extirpated due to hunting

cool..horses rawks

Mammoth Burger anyone?

sounds tasty

Is it bad that I got a little excited when I read this? unsure:
