Default Scientists Hope To Clone Extinct Species
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science...one/index.html

Japanese scientists have produced clones of mice that have been dead and frozen for 16 years -- a feat that could lead researchers to one day resurrect long-extinct species, such as the mammoth.

I've seen this before, except it took place on an island. Then raptors came. And Newman died.

LMAO

So the animal would have to be frozen, I suppose that makes sense. That may kill my lifelong dream of owning a caveman though. Perhaps I'll settle for one of those frozen Himalayan dudes ...

I agree with those that feel this technology must only be used for Good and in the interests of making the world a better place: cloning hot dead girls. Marilyn Monroe was not bad. I'll take 2.

One of my favorite parts of that movie was when Newman hacked the system and had that annoying screen saver popped up on Samuel L. haha.
