Is the wooly mammoth coming back to life?
My opinion would be no it would be cruel as mammoths have 3 layers of hair and therefore in most climates of the world a wholly mammoth would not be able to adapt.

Also people fear as an episode of Jurassic Park could come true! what would be next on the list the Dinosaur?
