looking into it more i found an interesting response to this article that imo casts alot of doubt over doing it within 5 yrs.

sure, why not? I'd love to see some huge, extinct animals. I'd buy a wooly mammoth jacket, and eat delicious wooly burgers...
hahaha nice sayingAs most everyone on this site knows ... they better do it before switching to 12/12. cn
to be fair no one is seriously considering trying to reintroduce the wooly mammoth if it were cloned. the first generations would of course be looked after extremely carefully by scientists and studied for what seems to be optimal conditions for them in captivity and if they could get that down maybe larger zoo's and other places could have a few as big time attractions. they cant be that much harder to keep than elephants. i know i would go see a wooly mammoth if i had the chance. people would almost be compelled to see one of these creatures we've heard and known about for most of our lives but told we would never get to see ever. I'd like the thylacine/tasmanian tiger to be the next species brought back. they could probably even be re-introduced to the wild in select areas. after that their are a bunch of tiger subspecies we've wiped out. i doubt they could survive in the wild, they would be cool to keep in captivity though for educational purposes and who knows, maybe someday in the distant future we will actually be able to release them into restored habitats.Bringing back animals, bugs, birds that have LONG been extinct is a BAD IDEA. Smart people knew this before Jurassic Park was ever written (yes it was a book, first). Firstly, there are likely NO predators around now that were back then (except maybe man)and dwindling food and natural habitat resources. Now...if the creatures couldn't survive THEN what makes you think they will NOW? This ranks right up there with the morons who just created the world's most deadly Flu virus. The dinosuars and such may have been victims of nature, bad timing, meteor impacts...but HUMANS will destroy everything, including themselves. Idiocracy at it's best.

What about cloning a caveman. encino man style.
