Extinct Ibex is resurrected by cloning

The Pyrenean ibex, a form of wild mountain goat, was officially declared extinct in 2000 when the last-known animal of its kind was found dead in northern Spain.

Shortly before its death, scientists preserved skin samples of the goat, a subspecies of the Spanish ibex that live in mountain ranges across the country, in liquid nitrogen.

Using DNA taken from these skin samples, the scientists were able to replace the genetic material in eggs from domestic goats, to clone a female Pyrenean ibex, or bucardo as they are known. It is the first time an extinct animal has been cloned.

the ibex... a truly monstrous beast... perhaps... science... has gone TOO FAR?

Have to walk before you can run, vyk.

We should clone me so I could spam this forum twice as often.

[Jeenyuss]

probably just papier mache.

it dead

[TagMor]

Just seven of the embryos resulted in pregnancies and only one of the goats finally gave birth to a female bucardo, which died a seven minutes later due to breathing difficulties, perhaps due to flaws in the DNA used to create the clone

First, it wasnt just "breathing difficulties".. I'ts lungs were completey fucked up, and most likely alot of its others organs aswell.
Second, why the fuck would it be "due to flaws in the DNA used to create the clone" when the overwhelming evidence shows that cloning experiments are full of these kinds of fuckups?

Obvious pro-cloning propaganda.

[MetalHeadz]

pro-cloning propaganda on the website of the UK's most popular right-wing broadsheet? .... yyyeeaaaaa, you're so on the pulse.

[TagMor]

oh ok.. my argument is invalid and its points not worth response because the source has traditionally held right-wing views..
nice logic dickhead.

i wonder if it is scientifically possible to clone mike jones, who is the one and only and therefore cannot be cloned

[kthx]

Well the thing is that Mike Jones has a lot of Haters and a lot of Homies, so even if he is the one and only they might be able to clone him.

[DoTheFandango]

Better yet, can they clone Lil' Wayne, as he is not one of us, he is a martian.

[Money]

back then they didnt want him now hes hot they wanna clone him
