I think it is a great idea to clone extinct species. Just think of all the new meat we carnivores could dine on:
1. brontosaurus burgers, steaks, ribs
2. T-Rex burgers burgers, steaks, ribs
3. fried pteradactyl legs, breast
4. mammoth burgers, steaks, ribs
The list is literally endless. And the possibility for BIG GAME hunters is just astounding!!!!!!

It would be great for purposes of studying the creatures, but other than that i think we should reserve the use for cloning animals to things that we as a species have made extinct to bring things back into balance.
but if we did start to clone and modify creatures i want a teacup T-Rex

Very dramatic, and surely heartfelt. I am aware that humans have contributed to the extinction of many species. But to say that all the species that we have been discussing the possibility of resurrecting have been shot to death by humans is just not so. We have no evidence that mammoths were hunted to extinction by guns. Or even arrows, spears and rocks.
It is very likely that a combination of predation by humans and other animals along with climate change did them in.

90% of the species ever on this planet are extinct...... let nature play its role without thinking we humans should mess with it, the planet will be here long after we are

I think it's excellent idea depending on what you are wanting to bring back..you would want to think about where the animal fits into the food chain and all that.
the Tas tiger would be cool...it should still be alive,but it was hunted hardcore right? so they should bring it back
i heard they are working on Dino's...hehe..i bet they can make Dino's right now.
interesting topic,thanks for bringing it up
