How Far Should We Go?



In shades of "Jurrasic Park", a team of researchers are beginning plans to bring to life an extinct species of mammoth using DNA from a specimin in Russia (click on the "Mammoth Article" below). Should this be done? Should the government be involved? If so, how? Let me know how you think this article is related to our study of Civics and government. Leave a comment below (click on the word "comments"). Ask you parents also! I would love to know what you think!

No, because they wouldn't know the behavior of the animal.

yes they should because they should do more research more about it before they do it and if they are going to make dinosaur again they need to look in to that before doing it

I think the Goverment should be involved because we need Protection.Also Who will fund this experiment? The Goverment will.It will need them to certify this will be 100% safe, so the Goverment will fund and help it become possible.The protection is very important. If this animal is Hostile it will kill many people and the people who keep us safe will be to blame. This is a very complicated ordeal and I think the goverment Should be able to be apart of it.

I think the Goverment should pay for the Expencses, because what would happen if some one got hurt?
Then when someone got hurt it would be in the newspaper and there would be a important decision to make about puting the animal down or keping it in captivaty where no one can get to it to get hurt.

I say NO! The goverment should not be cloning anything...If it was ment to be here then at this time it would still exist.The animal was put here for its time era why bring it back?
Carrington Byeres

Its great that we can do things such as cloning, but it should not be left up to us recreate or bring things back that was removed for a reason. kbyers-parent

no, i think the government should not be involved into this because we need our saftey and because they should not recreate dinosaurs so we would not have to die.

Yes, the governmoent should be involved because it is very dangerous to bring back an exctincted species. They say the wooly mammoth is 3X the size of an elephant. Many exctinced species like dinosaurs and wooly mammoths are very huge and can kill people very easily. The government should be involved to stop them from re-making a species.

i dont think the government should be involved with this because they have to buy the tools for this if they are involved and it would be our taxes they payed for the tools through:)

I think the government should be involed because if the government wasnt involed we wouldnt know what to do but with the government involed we would know a little.But we or the government dont know what they are like we dont know how they act or how much they eat, if the government isnt careful we could run out of money taking care of these animals. And we need the government for our safty/protection.

I agree with carrington i say NO because if it was here on the earth in the first place and then died then it was meant to die




I feel that we should not play GOD. I do not think we should try to bring back anything. It died for a reason. God has a plan! We should not mess with that.

kevin rylant, I think we shouldnt go to far with the wooly mamouth, because this could kill the elephants we have today.If it does pull together the wooly mamouth could get out of hand, or it could die withen a period of time.

Anonymous said...

No, because the government would take it over and make us as citizens pay taxes for the research and care of it.

Yes the goverment should be involved. So the goverment should shut the project down before we start cloning humans.

I Think The Government Should Be Involved Because Its Probably Dangerous To Bring Back An Extincted Animal.The Mammoth Was Extinct For A Reason And I Dont Think It Should Be Brought Back To Life.

No I don't think the government should be not be involved because if they are involved then they could take advantage of it and over populate there species whitch could result in either the mammoths killing off all off the other animals or they could take us over. Haley vining

The government shouldn't be involved because if the animal is already dead why bring it back to life just to do research on it, and the government will just make the prices of goods and who knows what else sky rocket just so we can help pay for test's and research on an already dead mammoth so NO the government shouldn't been involved.
