Can a mammoth be cloned?

there are some efforts going on to bring mammoth to life by using its frozen sperm. with an african elephant. as far as cloning goes i dont have any idea.

It is said possible but practically not prooved. It has never been done completly. Only until a specific state and then it was put into a utero. Especially not with humans as it is against the human rights. But technically it it the same with every mammal. But even it has not be done I strongly belief it is possible and when not now, then certainly in a few years.\n\nGreetings Dr.Seuss

like die?  Transplants can only be done between creatures with similar dna.

making someting with the same genetic makeup as the original

I think you could only if you integrated the necessary necromantic rituals into the cloning process.  You could clone the tissue, but it would grow as a living creature.  You'd then have to euthanize it and then raise it from the dead.

Yes, they certainly can.  It doesn't usually happen but they would produce healthy offspring.  The resultant animal is called a wolf-dog.\n\nThere is very little genetic difference between any dog and any wolf, coyote, or jackal, etc., so little, in fact, that genetic tests cannot tell how much wolf is in deliberately bred wolf-dogs. The domesticated canines and their wild cousins CAN interbreed. However, pedigrees on Malamutes and Siberians are available back ~20 generations (to the early 1930s at least) and these dogs are not wolf crosses -- Malamutes are Malamutes, Siberians are Siberians.

No, it can not be re-grown. \nYou can have a bone graft. This is done by either an Oral Surgeon, or Peritonitist.

yes.  So is cloning (that is where Dolly is from).

Cloning a human, as any other mammals, is a quick process (often not succesful though). If all necessary equipment, DNA and egg donors are ready, it can be cloned in one day and be born 9 months later. Please do not confuse the act of cloning (i.e., the procedure itself, which includes replacing DNA of an egg with donor DNA) with the time it takes for the clone to develop in uterus, to be born and grow up (as for any normal human being, it would take years to reach maturity).\nReal cost of one cloning procedure I'd say could be a little bit higher than what people pay now for in vitro fertilization. The fact is, however, that current technology cannot ensure hastle-free and error-free cloning, therefore nobody would do it on humans (unless illegaly, but that would cost millions I'd suspect). It requires further research and science advancement, which is costly (we are talking billions here).

Dont mess with nature. \n\nScientists should respect nature more and work within the ethical guidelines.\n\nMany things can go wrong, just like first cloned sheep Dolly. (had immune system problems, and aged faster etc.)

Cloning has become a widely debated issue in the media since 1996, when a group of Scottish scientists led by Ian Wilmut cloned Dolly, a sheep that was the first clone of an adult mammal. The cloning process involves destroying the nucleus of an egg cell of the animal that will carry the clone and injecting a donor nucleus from the individual to be cloned into that egg cell. The resulting egg thus has a nucleus from the donor animal (which may be an endangered animal) and can develop into an animal that has the same genetic makeup as the donor, thus making the resulting offspring a clone.\n\nSince Dolly's appearance, a wide variety of uses for mammalian cloning have been proposed, including using cloned animals to produce superior livestock and to simplify the process of creating transgenic animals (genetically modified animals that can make human proteins in their milk, for example). Several groups have suggested cloning endangered or recently extinct species. A company called Advanced Cell Technology used a cow named Bessie to clone an Asian gaur, an endangered oxlike animal native to India and Burma (the cloned gaur died of an ordinary disease two days after his birth). Scientists also hope to move on to cloning extinct animals, perhaps starting with the cloning of the now-extinct bucardo mountain goat from Spain; scientists froze some tissue from the last living animal before the species became extinct.\n\nCloning endangered and extinct species has raised heated debate in the scientific community and beyond. On the one hand, many say it may offer us an opportunity to protect animals such as the giant panda from extinction so that our descendants will be able to see the beauty of these creatures. Some claim that cloning may help us bring back recently extinct species. Still others just want to have an opportunity to see a mammoth. (By the way, cloning mammoths from tissues frozen in Siberian permafrost is considered impossible with the current techniques because their DNA has become fragmented. In addition, scientists do not think that fossilized species such as dinosaurs can be cloned.) Indeed, if successful cloning of an endangered or recently extinct species is possible, we may be able to boost the populations of these animals.\n\nOn the other hand, cloned populations consist of genetically identical individuals, leading to high susceptibility to many diseases and slow adaptation to the environment. In addition, some argue that introducing extinct species back into the wild may upset the natural balance and have disastrous effects on the populations of other species. Such concerns are probably not as relevant with recently extinct species, where their extinction has usually been caused by human interventions, such as destruction of habitats and hunting. We do have to consider such issues when we start talking about bringing back mammoths, but the cloning of long-extinct species is still only a theoretical possibility. Concerns remain, however, that endangered and recently extinct species could be brought back to a world where their habitats no longer exist, and they will only be able to survive in zoos.\n\nAnother concern voiced by animal conservationists is that cloning endangered species would be viewed by the public (and governments) as an alternative to the breeding and habitat-protection programs already in place. Such possibilities are especially alarming as cloning techniques become cheaper and may be viewed as a less costly alternative to the more traditional means of protecting endangered species. Of course, cloning cannot serve as a substitute for such programs, because cloned animals lack the genetic diversity that is crucial to survival, and they still need habitats to live in.\n\nAs you can see, cloning is far from being able to serve as a Noah's Ark that would save all endangered species from extinction, but together with habitat protection and breeding programs, it may help some endangered and rece

memory has nothing to do with cloning. clones are legal humans, just with identical DNA as some one else. no your children wouldnt be the clones children, the clone is one persons DNA put into the womb of a woman, and then it gets birthed like any other baby. nothing is the same except the dna, and especially not the age, relatives, or memory.  of corse its murder to kill a clone, the clone would be a person just like you or I. clones don't even necessarily grow up to look the same as their parent clone.

DNA has already been cloned, so your question is meaningless. This was done in bacteria over 40 years ago, and is how human insulin is now produced en masse.

hope you will get something useful in this link\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloning

A human clone, if succesful, is just a twin of the original person (but younger).  That's seems morally legitimate.  But today the success rate would be very low; some of the failures would be horrible birth defects.  So it would be unethical to attempt cloning a human today.  Eventually, if it could be done reliably, it would be ethical (but getting there from here seems awfully difficult).

I don't think anyone has actually figured out how the mummification process works.  They know how they did it more or less but not the preservative formula or how to duplicate it.  You can get mummified maybe but you might not last as long as the Pharaohs, or you'd have to settle for modern conventions.  What about trying fossilization?  Just have someone bury you in volcanic ash or something.
