Liquid Blood Extracted From 42,000-Year-Old Foal Found Frozen In Siberia

https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2019/04/liquid-blood-extracted-from-42000-year-old-foal-found-frozen-in-siberia/

Scientists in the Yakutsk region of Siberia have managed to extract samples of liquid blood from a 42,000-year-old foal that was found embedded in permafrost back in 2018. The scientists are hoping to collect viable cells for the purpose of cloning the extinct species of horse.

The male foal was discovered in the Batagaika depression on August 11, 2018. Permafrost left the remains in remarkably good shape, raising hopes that its cells could be extracted. The specimen is thought to belong to an extinct species of horse known as Lenskaya breed (also known as the Lena horse), as the Siberian Times reported last year.

I’m not sure about cloning this extinct species of horse any more than I am about cloning a woolly mammoth found in similar circumstances.

How about if they found a frozen caveman?

Interesting moral dilemma

I don’t think cloning of any extinct species should be done. I’m all for collecting the DNA to analyse it and study it in a scientific way.

Screw science. Do it for the profit. Create a world called Paleo World and fill it with cloned cave people, wooly mammoths, Sabre tooth tigers and Lena ponies.

See what they eat, offer them the “Paleo” diet or modern food and see which they choose.

I’m nearly extinct.

I’m with PP on this there is a moral dilemma involved and I think that outweighs the scientific endgame, whatever that is.

Add Pete Evans etc.

He’s on a different list. The one about walls and machine guns.

I think a Sabre-Toothed Tiger would be just fine for him.

i object, and one way to amplify the dna for further study would be to allow it to reproduce
