In a similar case as the well known dinosaur movie Jurassic Park, scientist have been un-extincting mammoths. To do this the first must find frozen mammoths with a good portion of their DNA still intact. The scientist must first take the broken down DNA, that was frozen in ice for the longest time, and stitch the bits and pieces back together. Then after or if they are able to do that they will inject those DNA molecules into the elephant in the hope to restart the race of mammoths.

Do You think that doing this will lead to only good things? If so why?
If this works what do you think the next step will be to other extinct animals?

Good job!
I don't think this could lead to ONLY good things, but I guess it would be pretty cool to have a woolly mammoth walk the Earth again. It could also go drastically, don't get me wrong, but after woolly mammoth, they'd probably go for stuff like: sabre tooth tigers, giant reptiles, or even possibly dinosaurs themselves. It's hard to tell what scientists will try to tinker with nowadays.
I think that this is incredible and I am absolutely amazing at how these scientists are able to pull DNA from an extinct species! I think that this can only lead science in a good direction and help us learn more about the Ice Age and time even before that. I'm not for sure if this will necessarily bring about more DNA discoveries.
I think that this is pretty crazy and that it would be pretty cool to see some dinosaurs and wolly mammoth in the present day and see it in action.
I agree I think seeing a mammoth would be awesome.
I think this is a very good thing. It could expand our knowledge in DNA and help us later on in life. Honestly, I think what is extinct should stay that way. They became extinct for a reason, and we don't want to mix something important like that up.
The possibilities with DNA are expanding and soon it could help with people that have diseases, so I think it's a good thing. They could possibly bring back other extinct animals if they had the DNA from that specific animal.
I never thought about how this could help out the medical field.
I think that it will help to bring back other extinct animals as long as it works. I think that it will not be all good that comes out because we don't know if it will work or if it will bring on a new type of animal that people won't know anything about.
I think this would be awesome and really a cool thing for a leap in science. I think if this works than they will definately push to try it on other animals.
