From worstpreviews, A team of South Korean and Russian scientists have teamed up to try to clone a wooly mammoth, which has been extinct for 4,000 - 10,000 years, by using cells discovered from mammoths found in Siberia.
Controversial South Korean stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-Suk, who managed to produce the world's first cloned dog (Snuppy), as well as a cat, a cow, a pig and a wolf, is involved in the project.
The biggest challenge will be to find usable mammoth cells from undamaged nuclei to transplant into an Indian elephant. "This will be a really tough job, but we believe it is possible because our institute is good at cloning animals," said researcher Hwang In-Sung.

We're messing where we shouldn't be messing if you ask me.
Well, you can say "I toldja so" when our Mammoth overlords are herding us into the camps. Super-intelligent wooly mammoths... who saw that coming?
I like "we believe it is possible because our institute is good at cloning animals." You can't ask for a more direct note of confidence than that.
