living mammoth


So it is being claimed that they can "regenerate" an extinct mammoth from a tuft of hair. These sort of claims always seem a little far fetched for me. How do they complete the rest of the DNA from just a tiny tuft of hair. It makes me curious and skeptical to hear such statements. Just because you publish in the NY times doesnt make it the truth.


And it always seems to be the case with these sorts of things...I know that we can, but should we?
