Jurassic Park?

[unforth]

Scientists begin to discuss realistic possibilities of using DNA of extinct animals to produce living ones - not Jurassic Park, actually, in that after 60,000 years DNA is too degraded to be analyzed with enough specificity...but woolly mammoths and many recently extinct animals like dodos may actually be replicable!

Heh, cool.

That is really cool. A real woolly mammoth would certainly be something to see.

Yeah, and I like to think what it could do for species that have gone extinct in the more recent past, too...as batgirl_raff suggests, it's a ways off, but maybe in our lifetimes...
