Are we not asking for trouble - Wooly mammoths could be brought back from extinction
Scientists in Siberia have found the first ever well-preserved sample of blood from a wooly mammoth, which could be used to recreate the extinct speices.
The 10,000-year-old blood was sealed inside ice beneath the carcass of a female mammoth.
Preserved muscle tissue was also found from the creature, aged between 50 and 60 when she died, according to the Russian team who made the discovery on islands off the northern coast of Siberia.
According to The Siberian Times, the blood will now be made available to South Korean scientists seeking the use mammoth DNA to bring creatures back to life.
The find - said to be the first time mammoth blood has been discovered - comes amid a hotly contested debate over the morality of Jurassic Park-style projects to restore extinct creatures to the planet, with some scientists insisting it will be impossible to get exactly the same mammoths as those that once roamed Siberia.
The answer is, It is possible and in fact, it would be done. That isn't my concern, my concern is, are we not getting ourselves into trouble? God who made these animals destroyed them or allowed them to be destroyed for a reason, if we re-create them, I hope we also have the ability to tame them too.
Not long, we will be re-creating DINOSAURS and then we will know, we have gone too far ....sadly by then, it would be too late.
