Actually there's been a long desire to reintroduce large game to North America to stabilize the ecology, increasing biodiversity and hopefully resolving food source problems for existing ecology.
If you want to think about the consequences of acting, you must also think about the consequences of inaction. Would there be as many wolf, coyote, bear and cougar attacks to people and herds in North America if there were a greater diversity.
Perhaps we should stop inventing better mousetraps, lest we "get careless" about maintaining properly cleaned homes. And maybe we should stop making hybrid cars, lest we "get careless" about only driving when necessary.
I'll give you a break.
My point is: sometimes we are getting careless about our environment because we think technology will fix what we break.
But as I said this news is exciting.

Somehow I hope this will not succeed. Although exciting we may be getting careless about animal extinction because we can 'resurrect' them later.
You're a disgrace to the nerd & geek community Mr. You bring nothing but dishonor to us.
Can you explain your comment? Or are you just trolling? Since when is thinking about consequences not nerdy enough?

Yes, I can explain: We can already clone any almost extinct species. We're not sure whether we can clone an already extinct one.
And if you consider yourself a (nerd|geek), you can't turn away from the possibility of someday riding a Mammoth obtained from SCIENCE.

Give me a break.
