Read an article today saying Japanese scientists intend to clone a mammoth by 2015 in a procedure that completely disregards the valuable lessons we learned from Jurassic Park.
According to the article, Dr. Akira Iritani of Kyoto University had this to say:
“The success rate in the cloning of cattle was poor until recently but now stands at about 30 per cent,” he said. “I think we have a reasonable chance of success and a healthy mammoth could be born in four or five years.”
I was left wondering if Karl Pilkington had heard the news, especially knowing how he reacted to a similar story years ago…
