Immortality! I gap like a rube on the tube at the possibility that relatively young mummified humans may yet cavort with the already predicted cloned furry mammoths in the not too distant future...

So maybe NOTHING is lost. If the the greatest Ice Age THAT EVER WAS happened 700 million years agone, causing the coldened surface water to sink and oxygenate and make POSSIBLE the first animals as multi-cellular life ITSELF, then hopefully some day we'll also find the viable remains of those guys. Or failing that, can we at least hope for even more pushing back the timeline of viable DNA?

Gape, rather.

But it's not immortality, just potential infinite recurrence. I don't want to be cloned, I want to live until we build STARSHIPS.

Not immortality but getting closer. Like many bio-technologies the salient question is "should we?"

"10 Reasons You Will Live to 1000" - Sounds like Wendell's linkbait generated that. Or would that be "18 amazing reasons goats can stop you from living to 50"?

Woolly mammoth remains may contain living cells: Hair, soft tissues and bone marrow found on Siberian expedition, raising hopes that extinct creature could be cloned

*rubs hands* Oh boy! Just sitting here waiting for my cloned woolly mammoth. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him... and love him and snorgle him and snurf him till he wheezes!

YES. Oh yes!

I don't expect to see any wooly mammoth cloning unless Tyson can get a good price for frozen mammoth nuggets.

*she says in a disingenuous voice* Why would they just clone the nuggets? Have a rat fruit on a stick. Have two, balance out the rat.
