I read one article that sounded like they already did it, but when I searched for more I found nothing. If they had been successful it would have been all over the news so I must have misread or it was a hoax.
It just seems a shame to me that we spend so much money bringing back an extinct animal when we had so many needs in todays World. What a waste of money.
However, I do agree it is intriging and I will be "wasting" my time reading about it if they succeeed. I am pretty sure I would travel to see it if a I got the chance, too. But that money and the money they waste studying gobal warming could be better spent.
