Today I can clone my dog for $25,000 USD to $50,000. USD Ten years ago it cost 8-10 times as much. There were ancient samples that were once thought unfit DNA sources a while back but, with new tech, they can be used today. If you ask me, they can resurrect all the species they want, as long as they find a proper place for them to inhabit, like a large and well guarded private reserve. Dan |

No, it's not a good idea. |

One of the main criteria for bringing something back is "Will it be tasty?" Oh yeah, and the bragging rights… ;-) |

Wackmole9 +1. How about bringing back animals that have died off in the last 100 years or so? You know start off with the easy ones that still have a niche here, rather than needed a whole extinct rain forest. Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, or the Passenger Pigeon might be good choices.

There is a hell of a difference between cloning an existing animal and one with NO current female members. I've spoken to a number of proponents of cloning extinct species that are out on a limb genetically (Hi Mike) and also to a bigger number of nay-sayers. The main problem is that there are NO viable 'eggs' to insert the DNA into, and no suitable 'incubator' species for any of the mammals. Birds are pretty close behind in the 'NO' stakes. Having some friends (Hi Sean) in the various molecular biology fields, we are more likely to 'control' cancer – make it a treatable condition like diabetes but not completely 'cure' it – in a life time or two. |

Bunkermeister, None of those sound very tasty. Passenger Pigeon, no way! we have too many flying rats as it is. Strange Predators are fine as pets only. |

We could bring back the Dodo,apparently they were quite tasty, and you could probably put the dna into another birds eggs |

Ooooohhh, maybe we could replicate the TMP Bug, turn it loose on society and take over the world. Moo-Ha-Ha !!! |

The think the NSA, CIA, etc., should clone the TMP bug … And infect the Russian, PRC, North Korean, ISIS/terrorists and Iranian hackers/Gov't websites ! < MWWAAAaaaahhaa !!!!! >  Let them get upset, frustrated, paranoid, etc., etc. !!!! It'll drive'm crazy !!!!! < Need Health Ledger Joker emoji > |
