AI Article Synopsis
- There is increasing interest in using embryological techniques like cloning to potentially revive extinct species, specifically the woolly mammoth.
- Woolly mammoth remains discovered in permafrost are well-preserved and contain identifiable nuclei, making cloning more feasible.
- The chapter aims to review existing literature on this topic and discuss viable cloning strategies along with their practicality and ethical considerations.
Article Abstract
Recently there has been growing interest in applying the most advanced embryological tools, particularly cloning, to bring extinct species back to life, with a particular focus on the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). Mammoth's bodies found in the permafrost are relatively well preserved, with identifiable nuclei in their tissues. The purpose of this chapter is to review the literature published on the topic, and to present the strategies potentially suitable for a mammoth cloning project, with a frank assessment of their feasibility and the ethical issues involved.
