Cloning of Woolly Mammoth?

Russian scientists have claimed to have  retrieved blood from a Woolly Mammoth suggesting cloning would be possible. We know cloning in other live animals has occured but apart from the the financial advantages from displaying a Woolly Mammoth what other advantages could there possibly be? Any extinct animal like this would not have a herd to learn from so behaviour would be implanted by its' human or elephantine carers.

Ethically to me it is wrong to do this, but is there any scientific value at all?

I think they would be a danger to everyone if they were brought back from extinction...I dont agree with it at all.

it is a bit like dealing with 'alien beings'    i think,    but they have already cloned DOLLY,   the sheep,    and probably somewhere in some dark abyss,   hidden away,  are a few 'HUMAN CLONES'   that have gone wrong,       we only hear about the things that go well,   heaven only knows what they have done,   they have transplanted ,lungs,  hearts,  livers,,   even a complete face,    and hands,     they are bound to have experimented with a few bodies,  

The Russians are similar to the French for lying to up their ego.

Putin is a classic example.

I don't believe that they could clone a coconut.

 

Does anyone remember a few years back some wacko doctor said he had cloned a human being and all would be revealed.  Well, glad I di d not hold my breath...nothing has ever been heard of this claim since (well I sure haven't)
