Cloning Hilarity

I was reading on article on the successful cloning of the extinct Ibex. The clone later died from lung-failure, which is common result for all clone-created animals. Although it doesn't sounds like a feasible method for the saving of extinct or near-extinct species, the idea is incredibly interesting both from the biology and conservation standpoint.

The Pyrenean Ibex

One comment I read, although not constructive at all to the implication of cloning an extinct animal, was absolutely hilarious:

"Hah! Now we're responsible for the specie going extinct twice!

Go Humanity!"

Awesome.
