Speaker 1: I like cappuccino and fish. The sea chips from the
Speaker 1: casino al Waiger won't be been good.
Speaker 2: I like Welcome back, so the Alien Space Ship Talk
Speaker 2: Show podcast. And in case you're just joining us, you're
Speaker 2: listening to the Alien Space Ship Talk Show podcast with
Speaker 2: Amhikans and travels.
Speaker 1: Used to survive and thrive. Actually, although the DNA is
Speaker 1: very very broken up, you know, being so old, it
Speaker 1: still has some use. So the fact that it's so
Speaker 1: badly broken means they can't currently They will get there,
Speaker 1: but they can't currently bring back fully one hundred extinct species.
Speaker 1: What they what they are doing. They can take that DNA.
Speaker 1: They've initially tested it on what they call wooly mice.
Speaker 1: So these poor little mice have had this DNA the
Speaker 1: elements which produce the fur and the wool on a mammoth.
Speaker 1: They've injected this, or they put this in with the
Speaker 1: DNA of a current day mouse and successfully produced what
Speaker 1: they can really call a hybrid wooly mouse. And it
Speaker 1: shows that the DNA in the permafrost of all those
Speaker 1: thousands of years ago still works on a little mouse.
Speaker 1: So it's born with fur and hair just like the elephants,
Speaker 1: and that's inspired this company to say, right, let's do
Speaker 1: this to a wooly mammoth. So they get actually an
Speaker 1: Asian elephant, current living Asian elephant, and they match its
Speaker 1: DNA with some of this permafrost DNA on the specific
Speaker 1: bits of the wooly and fur items on the wooly mammoth,
Speaker 1: and they hope to I mean, they then put this
Speaker 1: all into a carrier elephant, if you like, to carry
Speaker 1: the fetus, and when it's born, all being well, in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, it will look like a complete wooly memmoth.
Speaker 1: So it'll be quite something to see if it is successful. Now,
Speaker 1: whether something goes wrong in the womb of the carrier telephant,
Speaker 1: we don't know, but it certainly worked with the mice,
Speaker 1: so it does look as if that's the next step
Speaker 1: to and I'm sure it will make headline news around
Speaker 1: the world in a couple of years time if this
Speaker 1: works out. Okay, but it does really then say, they're
Speaker 1: getting fairly close, one imagines to being able to bring
Speaker 1: back completely, you know, an animal that's died out long ago.
Speaker 1: And they're doing similar work on this with the Tasmanian
Speaker 1: tiger which has died out a long time ago, and
Speaker 1: even the Dodo. The Dodo the bird which was on Mauritius,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. It was isolated on Mauritius and that died out.
Speaker 1: But it looks like they're going to be able to
Speaker 1: bring back, initially what they will call a hybrid. It
Speaker 1: will be part part modern day bird, part extinct Dodo
Speaker 1: tiger William ammoth. So it's quite exciting to think that
Speaker 1: they are doing those things, whether there's a moral story
Speaker 1: to that or element to it, which leads to my
Speaker 1: next question, what do you think about human clone cloning?
Speaker 1: Now we know twins or triplets, if they're identical, they're
Speaker 1: clones of each other. Aren't they that two or three
Speaker 1: or four of the five the same thing? But accepting
Speaker 1: that that's a part of nature, what's your view on
Speaker 1: whether we should clone humans? And there may be advantages
Speaker 1: to that if we can actually genetically do what they
Speaker 1: cank gene editing, edit out illness gene which won't appear
Speaker 1: in the clone, et cetera, et cetera. And of course
Speaker 1: we can get into stem cell research, which is ongoing
Speaker 1: and then it's utilized very much these days. But what
Speaker 1: is your opinion should a human being be cloned? And
Speaker 1: do you think it could be done?
Speaker 2: For example, I think I think a human beings should
Speaker 2: be cloned.
Speaker 1: You could send along your your clone to do this.
Speaker 1: I think it was used to do.
Speaker 2: You know it's funny because conspiracy theorists they already think
Speaker 2: that it's been done with celebrities. They think, well, that's
Speaker 2: not that's not. They going to take a shot break.
Speaker 2: Now we're back shortly. You've been listening to the Alien
Speaker 2: Spaceship Talk Show with Travel Gear and Emmie Higgins. The
