I find this stuff fascinating and think it is only a matter of time until we are cloning extinct species. The discovery of well-preserved woolly mammoth remains in eastern Siberia has raised distant hopes that the animal could be cloned. A Russian-led team of international scientists found intact cells among remains including hair and bone marrow. In theory, the animal - which died out between 10,000 and 4,000 years ago - could be recreated if living cells are discovered among the remains.
