from annihilation by man, or natural causes; the problem is that the species cannot be

extinct Tasmanian Tiger can be cloned, and able to breed. This scientific breakthrough is

only a scratch on the issue of cloning and its capabilities.

In 1997, a sheep by the name of "Dolly" was cloned in Scotland, and the

hypothesis of genetic duplication was proven. For Australian museum director Mike

Archer, this was fifteen years of hopes and dreams coming true. "It became of not if, but
