Woolly mammoth genome comes to life

ore importantly our discovery means that recreating extinct hybrid animals is theoretically possible."

Woolly mammoths, which have become symbols of the Ice Age, died out 10,000 years ago.

"Naturally there are ethical issues that come with a discovery of this magnitude, and McMaster is already planning the first conference devoted to the ethics of bringing extinct organisms back to life," said Mamdouh Shoukri, vice-president research and international affairs. "We have an obligation as scientists to explore and maintain the responsible use of research."
