We can't even keep the species we've got right now alive. Why are we bringing back extinct ones? Unless we actually practice conservation and set aside enough land for these creatures, all we're doing is making big zoo animals.

We're looking for more efficient and tasty domesticated ones? Let's be honest here, the cows and their methane emissions are destroying the world.

Get rid of motor vehicles, bring in dinosaurs. Simples.

species are supposed to go extinct, thats the way evolution works. when a force changes their environment, such as humans, animals will evolve to adapt. look at cats, they are already have it all figured out. example of a species to figure out that self-domestication (and being really cute) is a valid survival strategy. another way an animal can preserve their species is by evolving to be tasty. this will ensure a species' survival, as we will want to breed such creatures under controlled situations so as to devour them.

No, we're refining incredibly complex techniques for molecular genetics and proving they work.  That alone is reason enough for projects like these.

Extinctions are part of the evolutionary process.  Bringing back the mammoth as a viable, sustained species that can live in the wild isn't really an option.  Learning to restore DNA preserved for thousands of years to clone an organism and produce a viable adult has all kinds of applications for human medicine.

Man, this would be awesome.  Considering that humans were mostly responsible for the mammoth's extinction, it's kind of like taking conservation of endangered species and putting it in a time machine.  I wonder if there are any good DNA samples of a dodo...

Cool, so we can kill off the whales and clone them later when that probe shows up...

****ing hippies.

Sooo..........This WILL help on the road to create chocobos and moogles?
