Things become extinct for a reason.

Thats true. I think this is just some scientists trying to satisfy thier egos. It will advance the science of cloning but there are more productive ways to do this. It is a waste of energy to bring back a species that is unfit to survive.

"It is a waste of energy to bring back a species that is unfit to survive."
I agree. The Tasmanian tiger proved itself unfit for survival by failing to metabolize the poisons set out for it by ranchers and by neglecting to adapt to the toxic gasses they pumped into the animals' burrows. Obviously an inferior species.
Now you take something like the cockroach or the Norwegian rat -- there's a creature worthy of respect.

Welcome to Jurrasic Park.
Let's take a lesson from the greys and NOT clone our species.

I told those crazy bastards that JP wasn't that far-fetched. 
So, cloning didn't work out for the greys?

Nope, they are all the same now through thousands of years of altering their DNA and cloning.. they are more like bees in their 'hive type' way of thinking than humans. They even mixed their DNA with some plant DNA so they could get photosynthesis effect from basking in the sun...like a sugar boost. Their heads got so big they were killing the mothers at birth so they had to switch to test tube embryos for birth. However since they did not develop naturally their genetics are now flawed and their race is dying. Enter the hybrid program. Hey look at those humans, they have the missing DNA we need.

If this turned out to be true, I'd hope it would work out alright for everyone involved. heh

Well.. that's the objective apparently.. save their race and use the hybrids to find a common ground between us and them.
