Does someone not want woolly mammoths cloned? I cannot begin to imagine a halfway decent argument against that

It won’t be feasible to synthesize the necessary gut bacteria and socialization, and it isn’t clear what habitat they’d survive in currently, if anywhere.  It may be difficult to get enough of a population going to ensure a stable breeding population, and the cost to get the 1,000 or maybe 10,000 mammoths that may take would be prohibitive for most entities that might consider doing it.

There, halfway decent.
