TOKYO (AFP) – Japanese researchers will launch a project this year to resurrect the long-extinct mammoth by using cloning technology to bring the ancient pachyderm back to life in around five years time.

Japanese pornographers are already lining up for the contracts to make the first "mammoth porn" ...

That's probably going to cause a lot of elephant miscarriages .
Have we sequenced the full mammoth DNA or even an elephant ? do they know if they have got a full undamaged copy ? Or are they just going to PCR lots of copies stick em in elephant eggs and not show the press the monsters they made ?

Great. I would love it if they could pull that off.
And what's next? I think it would be fabulous if they could clone a Neanderthal man, or one of those other recent human subspecies they recently discovered.
Time to get looking in that permafrost.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Could Cloning Tech Resurrect the Mammoth?
The long-extinct pachyderm could be back to life in five years time.
THE GIST
* Japanese researchers hope to revive the species by obtaining tissue from a preserved mammoth carcass.
* The nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg.
* The embryo will then be inserted into an elephant's uterus in the hope that the animal will eventually give birth to a baby mammoth.
