Resurrecting the Mammoth for $10 Million Alex
The New York Times has a story about a PSU scientist who believes he can regenerate a mammoth for $10 million once its genome is sequenced.
Show of hands, who thinks this is a good idea? Did you people not see Jurassic Park? Come on you this animal died off for a reason, no second chances!
“Mammoth escape at the San Diego Zoo, Neanderthal resurrected to capture or kill it.”
“Neanderthal escape at a local lab, Sabertooth Cat resurrected to kill it.”
This is just the start, we’ll have a full fledged Jurassic Park before this century’s over. What a terrible idea.
