  1. Cloning Extinct Animals By: Jacob Engen and Joe Bertolini

  2. Reasons We Should It would be totally wicked! Reviving them could redeem our sins towards the animals. It would help us protect endangered animals. Future generations would get to see the amazing creatures of the past

  3. Reasons we should not It could have a serious impact on the environment There are no places to put the newly resurrected species other than zoos The places that these animals live have more than likely changed since when they were there last and there is no way they can evolve to live there.

  4. How we could clone them Using the DNA we have found from fossils we can extract the DNA and use it to reconstruct them. We have found a fully put together mammoth that was frozen and that we could clone.
