Raising the Mammoth Page #9

It's a story that ends as it began

enshrouded in ice.

But it's by no means the end of

the adventure.

Perhaps the woolly mammoth

will rise again.

At this time, the revival of

an extinct species is still a dream.

But some think it can be done

by cloning.

It takes only one cell but requires

a complete strand of DNA.

And this will be hard to come by.

But if the chain of code is unbroken

some say it might be possible

to fertilize an egg.

But is it likely that a woolly

mammoth could be resurrected

from fragments of DNA

22,222 years old?

Some of the world's top mammoth

experts disagree.

At the moment,

what we know about the preservation

of DNA in the permafrost is

that it's not good enough for that.

It is difficult but we have a chance

to study to make clone.

I think it's just a dream,

I think people who speak

about this have very closely watched

Jurassic Park."

If they can get DNA

there's no problem with cloning.

I think we shouldn't try it anyway.

Mammoth disappeared because of man

so if man could revive

it would be only justice.

There's surely someplace on

this planet

that's close enough to what

they lived in when they were alive

that they can be happy there.

If links from the past can be bound

to dreams of the future

the day of the mammoth may come again.
