| Description | <in case anyone was wondering what my icon/photo is...I am an advocate of utilizing cloning technology for a number of uses besides that which I support in this article>
From the article:
"Australian scientists say they may have found a way to bring the extinct Tasmanian tiger back to life.
The last known sighting of a Tasmanian tiger was in 1936 when the last one died in captivity. The animal, which is also known as the thylacine, was hunted as vermin.
The scientists say they hope a Tasmanian tiger could be born in 2010.
If the animal can be successfully cloned, it may pave the way for a viable population and the return of other extinct species." |
