How to Clone a Mammoth - Beth Shapiro

[piggyfreak06]

she sounds very awkward o_o

[kju813]

How many years will be old baby mammoth,beacuse when start cloned sheep doly baby dead with arthritis chronicus.

[happinesson]

why clone if we can reproduce naturally? in some way or another there might be discrepancies that can occur during cloning. There is no specimen that is exactly alike.

[MrElloco1979]

Who gives a shit about a hairy elephant

[FireDropTechnologies]

one at a time,

live cell, remove one cromezone.

Inject the mamoth cromezone,

Remove the second Elephant cromezone,

Insert the second Mamoth cromezone.

Not realy as complex as you try to make it. do you also work for the catholic diacies?

[FireDropTechnologies]

There are say Approximatly three forms of , and or Spiecies of Elephant still living.

How much live DNA splicing would you realy need to replicat the dead DNA, rather than regrowing it form dead DNA, simply splice it. Like the Way a Chimp has most of the same DNA as you.

[ThePurpPuffer]

mammoth HA probably harmful as a elephant

[rollinghills22]

This is absolutely preposterous!! The whole theory in general concurs with Olins law of DNA reconstruction which was proved futile. The mammoth has 2 dividing nucleus membranes just like it's close cousin the elephant. In order to clone a mammoth, one would need to transfer cytoplasm from a living mammoth cell to an invertabinary cell with NO Helix structure whatsoever. A much simpler answer is to extract DNA from a mosquito trapped in tree sap like they did in Jurassic Park *bow* "Thank you"

[Murdock129]

I believe they are gonna do this now aren't they?

[BuzzinFr0g]

@Murdock129 Yes, in light of some new techniques a team is attempting to clone a woolly mammoth. The predict chance of success is around 40% and the estimated time until we see the live animal, if everything goes well, is about four years. It's very, very cool.

[karianaperarg]

oh I wanted to see the baby mammoth :( they should have shown the slides of the powerpoint

Shes a cutie.

[sonbuhitsunei]

@CrownOfTheTown Sadly that's what I was most focused on the whole time...I suppose I've been single a bit too long, eh? :P lol

[77rxpharmacy]

She's a charismatic speaker :) 

[EstavonCrowaka]

I'm excited at the prospect of one day cloning a wolly mammoth, but all this info becomes lost in translation when im watching Ms. Shapiro shes hot or is it just me? nothing like a fine well educated woman

[ndndnd555]

@EstavonCrowaka Dr. Shapiro or Professor Shapiro. Just because she's hot doesn't mean she didn't earn the degree or the academic position. Respect!

[EstavonCrowaka]

@ndndnd555 Gee thanks mom, but with all seriousness you need to relax it was meant to be a joke you need to find other things to do then to catch feelings from comments on youtube its sad.

[ndndnd555]

@EstavonCrowaka Ouch! Hostility! Getting a PhD is no joke. What's sad is that you don't recognize that. Also, you called me "Mom". You assume that I am a woman? No need to respond - that would be sad :)

[EstavonCrowaka]

@ndndnd555 I would say more but theres no point because you'll take it out of context and assume hence me calling you mom anyway im done with this.

[NorthForkFisherman]

Here's the question that no one seems to be answering or even asking: Should we clone it? Animals don't exist in a vacuum, they are part of an ecosystem. If there is a reasonable amount of space that can be set aside for them, then fine. However, in the US we have a hard enough time trying to exist with the animals that do still exist like large predators. I'd say we should start small: Passenger Pigeons and Carolina Parakeets first, then more ambitous Pleistocene Park projects.

[nemothablak]

holy shit.... is that einstein in the background?

[Saligubung]

did you ever watch 'Star Trek' Some aliens aren't friendly to humans. Does that mean we don't explore space?

[vigo894]

@Saligubung= I say we explore space. Those unfriendly aliens will find us sooner or later. Gotta find the friendly aliens. let's just not land on that planet with the xenomorph eggs.

[thebuckrogers22]

this is fucking retarded. why would the japanese wanna close something as dangerous as a mammoth. did they not watch JURRASIC PARK????

[journeymanjim]

she has a lovely accent

[MikeSoccerFreeStyle]

sexy voice.........mamasita....

[guyontheend]

NEW ANSWER: Breed elephants with bears!!!

[hugslyh]

hmm i wanna clone myself so i can lock one of me in a room and make it do my homework!!!!

[nmbo76jklq]

@hugslyh its probley going two be in hatie

[hugslyh]

@nmbo76jklq ? explain hatie

[PinkProgram]

you could always match it against elephant dna to more or less get things in the right location.

[TIMETODIE99]

they should clone a t rex then take it to a christian church and see if they coexist

[vigo894]

@TIMETODIE99= And then they'll take it to your house, and see if it eats you.

[hugslyh]

@TIMETODIE99 lol

[elvensbane]

k.. ill use this next time i'm i feel like cloning a mammoth.

[calebisin]

she is so funy and energetic it wold be awsome if we oneday clone a mamath or even beter a dinosaur

[gamecheatmaster123]

A man named vector something put together a brand new custom genome into a bacteria cell. So cloning a mammoth is not to far away.

[geoffreyah]

When the construction of Eukeriotic cells from scratch accurs in about ten or twenty years-and to modify any cell already alive-when teckniques for finding finding all matter of recoverable data(DNA) or other....from all soarces then possible accurately, without flaw...then it's a go to at least realisticly try (O:

[nmbo76jklq]

clone a raptore

[geoffreyah]

I wanna see dead extinct animals in my life time!! he he!-it sucks when your computer doesn't work huh?

[nmbo76jklq]

@geoffreyah bring back a tiranosouse rex and king kong

[NSPcrazYKABK112]

@nmbo76jklq King Kong is fictional. He never existed

[nmbo76jklq]

@NSPcrazYKABK112 yes he did

[hugslyh]

@nmbo76jklq i hate to say it man but he didnt. there may have been something like it but there was no giant ape wondering around new york getting shot at by planes and climbing buildings

[haloperro31]

yes or no what is it

[Drdump1]

View too much Jurassic Park..movie, the T-Rex will turn her into food......

[lailum]

i am dissapoint..... i doubt i will c any cloning of extinct animals in my lifetime

[benjieastig29]

what a about frozen mamoth found in discovey chanel

[nmbo76jklq]

@benjieastig29 wut about congo

[GodOfDeath12344]

@lailum dude did u kno an asian scientist cloned a mice ? and i watched discovery channel today in school and they could clone a mammoth

[hugslyh]

@lailum lol get over it

just watch jurassic park

but hay they are cloning frozen rats in japan so wtf its getting more and more possible

[Bubbles1064]

if you wantn my advice make the clones and put them like a zoo and u will get ur money back

[toolkills]

shes a decent teacher....shes cute as well....i really really hope within 20-30 years we will beable to clone dinosaurs

[plugindave]

where would we put a fuck load of cloned woolly mammoths?

[JuSKallday]

ur comment realy made me laff lmao

[sclary9889]

is that donald sutherland in the back lol

[lebonpost]

i hate her sarcastic aproach, it ruins the whole presentation.

[KamiTonberry]

I agree, she's fucking annoying.

[geoffreyah]

A few more years, they say, soon to map the neandrotol man geaneome from old bones-if so the frozen mammoth=great preservation=done soon!! (o*:

[geoffreyah]

What a Fckin Puzzle Eh? but scientists love big puzzles!! this one is irresistible-in theory it is possible-amazing to pull it off!

[thebbeenn]

Much evidence points to that mankind actually played a huge part in the Mammoth's extiction. They large and slow - easy game for the people of that time.

I think bringing back the mammoth would be really important, It would further science and maybe give the species that are now on the verge of extiction a second chance, not to be gone forever.

[ARandomCanadian]

Wut? They actually found out they it WASN'T humans that caused their extinction when they found that Baby Mammoth carcass.

[nmbo76jklq]

@thebbeenn they will eat us alive

[peasinacan]

y do we need a mammoth??...apparently they were not able to survive on this earth and were obsolete...i think its not important

[biscoito1r]

I wanted to see the baby Mammoth :(

[BSRGodfather]

Kind of a long way of saying "we can't do anything at this point"...

Can I have the 7.5 min of my life back please?

[adamproskiw]

i had no idea mammoths were made of ribbon science is fascinating.

[alano74]

female talk like running rabbit, me want make mammoth, she no hlep1

amazing

[Keylimedelight]

delicious morsels of sugary goodness...

[chopin65]

If we don't manage to blow up or kill off billions from famine or constant war we could learn to save ourselves. I doubt it though. It seems like a bad idea to live forever or bring back species that have been extinct for 65 million years. Maybe we should put our energies into energy resources that will not foul the environment (wind, solar, ect) and space travel a colony on Mars would be the greatest human adventure, that is next to acting less human and learning more from nature.

[legendary852004]

Humans are a part of nature rather we believe it or not(we are an animal ). Our actions, whatever we do or decide to do is our nature. So, if we destroy or fix("live forever or bring back species") it's what our nature intended. There is no plan for nature we are nature.

[chopin65]

Why are all the reply's either smarmy or new-age on this channel? Believe it or not, humans, as a branch of chimps are different than all other species. The fact that you are on You Tube should give you some clue as to why you are different than insects or elephants! Wake up please! Evolution is fact, and humans stand at the precipice of mastering or destroying their collective futures. I do not believe in this programmed BS, so please spare me. We can adapt and overcome our nature, even evolve.

[legendary852004]

I can't stand that "new-age" bullshit. Wasn't intending to sound "smarmy or new age" my bad. I think as humans we believe we are something different we are something special because of technology.Our ability to adapt and over come quickly is our nature.How do you define nature? "I do not believe in this programmed BS". Nor do I.

[chopin65]

I am afraid it is impossible to define "nature" in the space 500 characters. To do so would only yield to confusion. Nature, I will state, is no sacred cow or alter shrouded by a veil. As science unfolds its order and workings it is far from any personification or set of moral constructs, that is it is beyond human sense of right or wrong, good or evil. Man/woman has the unique position in recognition of this and is therefore fully cognizant of our species unique circumstances.

[chopin65]

I will also add that genetically we are so close to chimpanzees (a difference of 1.6%) that we are unique in our ability to make art and religion, and finally science, to ponder what our meaning is in terms of "self" as opposed to the concepts of class and religion which existed prior to the 18th century as a model of meaning in humans. The transition in the former illusion to the latter brings us eventually spinning into the cold vacuum of outer space as we search for our chemical origins.

[ARandomCanadian]

legendary852004? SO you mean I can litter all I want? Sweet! Im gonna start fires in the n ational parks. I am part of nature after all. :D

[legendary852004]

Lol, sure only thing stopping you are laws. Farmers in South America burn forest down all the time to feed their families. Elephants clear large areas of forest and mourn their dead. So, Whats your point. How are you not a product of nature and natural selection? You don't believe our species was just placed here by a magic finger or a space ship do you? The only thing that make humans different are our brains which happen to be a product of.. lets hear it children....Nature.

[ARandomCanadian]

Elephants clear areas that are NO WHERE near as large as humans.

"You don't believe our species was just placed here by a magic finger or a space ship do you?" I could say I used too. Even if we aren't we evolved into sapient beings we are not part of nature any longer.

And to say that you don't care if people of burning down the whole world is sickening.

[legendary852004]

"And to say that you don't care if people of burning down the whole world is sickening."

Huh? You have lost me.

"we are not part of nature any longer."

How so?

[ARandomCanadian]

"Huh? You have lost me."

The fact that you don't care if people burn down the whole world is sickening.

"How so?"

Cuz we evolved. Once a species relies on technology to shelter itself from the environment and becomes a plague to the rest of the planet, it is no longer natural.

Read: "Are human beings still part of nature" by Craig Hawkins

[toolkills]

i really understand where youre coming from ....but isnt the curiosity in you strong enough to overpower the naturalist philosophy?????....im sure its a terrible idea but the little boy in me really doesnt care....I WANNA SEE DINOSAURS!!!!...hehe

[Dracmoray]

same for me ^^

Somehow it's weird to Clone Mammoth cuz they all died so long ago.

But the kid in me wants do see it. <3

[nmbo76jklq]

@toolkills were all going two be fuck

[nmbo76jklq]

@legendary852004 bring back congo

[lumpfish99]

Beth....the question is not really "Can you" its "Should you"......these creatures went extinct because it was their time to do so......you ought to think about that before you continue your infospread......

[Keylimedelight]

And if my appendix bursts its just my time to go?

[lumpfish99]

Its not the same at all....I dont think preventing death is the same as bringing something back from the dead....we should do all we can to protect the life that already exists....these creatures died out long before we had anything influential to do with it....

[ARandomCanadian]

No because its you are human, humans help each other. Humans try to protect endangered species because we currently share this world. We don't need to bring a whole load of extinct animals back so we can have a shit load of other problems

[legendary852004]

Could it be their time to come back? Is there really a time for any creatures extinction? Who or what decides when it's extinct or when it can come back?

[lumpfish99]

It is natural that all things have an end it has always been this way......once we start to twist these natural laws, not that it hasnt already been done, then we may as well dispense with ethics and morality....why not use eugenics and create a superhuman race then exterminate the ones who are defective?

[GeeWeezzz]

What's immoral about cloning a mammoth?

[lumpfish99]

its dead.....simple, once you start its the thin edge of a wedge that could easily lead to a brave new world of which we would not be a part of....

[Keylimedelight]

"It is natural that all things have an end it has always been this way"

-This is not an argument.-

"once we start to twist these natural laws..."

-You mean with things like contraceptives, artificial insemination or sanitation? None of which exist in the natural world. We twist natural laws by domesticating animals. What has been has no relation to what SHOULD be. We have to make judgments about that as we go, not just appeal to the past.-

[lumpfish99]

and your opinion would be what? bring back mamoths? dinosaurs? dead people? create cymeras? or how about a lucas style clone army? these technologies would never be used for the benefit of mankind, they would be invested in by the military and would be used as weapons to control society.....

[ARandomCanadian]

agreed

[Keylimedelight]

"It is natural that all things have an end it has always been this way"

again i have to go back to the appendix argument. If my appendix bursts, the natural thing for me to do is die. Its only though an unnatural technological intervention that i might live.

The 'its always been this way' argument is ridiculous and been used against contraceptives, penicillin, vaccinations and women's rights. Just because something *has* always been doesn't mean it *ought* to always be.

[legendary852004]

I'm still a bit confused, how is our use of technology to save a persons life "unnatural" or any technology our species uses for that matter.

I could see how it would be if our technology just showed up out of no where but it didn't. It evolved as we adapted to our environments.

Would a group of early man running a herd of mammoth off a cliff's edge with torch's be unnatural?

What about a beavers dam preventing salmon from reaching their spawning grounds?

Is that Unnatural?

[arturconfituur]

no, it's the way how the hard nature keeps balance in the life tree.

[arturconfituur]

and what about the life species that the humans destroyed? like the tasmanan tiger? and the dodo?

If we bring those back alive, we can reset our fault.

[plugindave]

knowing mankind we'd probably end up cloning dodos purely for farming

[arturconfituur]

What's wrong with that?

We got to eat anyway...

[plugindave]

bringing back a species we already caused the extinction of purely so we can keep on killing it.

it's a bit excessive, no?

besides, the dodo was reported to be pretty bad tasting anyways

[gamertillman]

lmao, the problem there my friend is, is, that the dodo puts its own egg in another birds nest. If there are nothing but dodos at the farm well, do you see the horrible picture there, lmao.

[plugindave]

so they become game birds?

still, bringing back the bird for the sake of hunting and killing them again?

sounds costly when we have chickens and turkeys that are just as good

and what if we just release the Dodo into the wild? the dodo evolved on an island with no natural predators, and is therefore slow, and unafraid of predators, and now that that particular island is rife with people and predators alike, thered b nowhere to put Dodos safely anyway

itd b cool to have them back but not fair

[JuSKallday]

yh i get u but how du u define natarual are brein has nataural able to du these this so they sre natural in a way

[ARandomCanadian]

We do. Do you really think we should start wasting billions of dollars cloning dinosaurs for a Jurassic Park that will require extreme ammounts of food while people in africa is starving?
