This is what Science needs to do

When I was a young boy growing up in Cavan
I was gifted with an inherent curiosity about
the world, how it works , why it worked, how
energy and mass where somehow related .....

I was in short into science. There really 2
sections of science and 2 kinds of scientific
work 1. those who explain the way things are/where
and those who are messing round new stuff and these
people are my favourite because whenever they find
something new they ask "what will we do with it now"

Now the whole DNA "Thing" has been in the works for decades
now, we discovered DNA and started finding out how it worked
what I did and then Scientists asked themselves what they were
going to do with it . Some went towards find cures and preventative
methods (gene therapy), some set about creating designer babies
Someone however has put his/her (most likely their) time into this :

Cloning from DNA brings up all kinds of ethical questions about playing god
and identity and a persons soul. But surly in the case of a long extinct
animal there's a greater good.

Imagine if they really did it, brought a woolly mammoth to life!
Imagine seeing one on the news when the host elephant gives birth
There’d be a webcam on it 24/7 every birthday we'd get an update.
Maybe they'd do a Zoo tour with him/her and everyone could actually
see a mammoth in the flesh (and hair).

I don't know if this is as exciting for others as it is for me
as someone who spent much of there time (age 7 - 12) flicking
through dinosaur magazines, but I realty think this is something
that would capture everyone's imagination. Whenever science fiction
becomes real everyone takes notice with a childlike enthusiasm.

Murphy’s law states "Any sufficiently future based technology is
indistinguishable from magic"

If the internet can bring back the Wispa
maybe it can bring back the Mammoth too
