In light of recent cloning advances claimed for Dolly the sheep
how long do you estimate it will be before it becomes
economically viable to clone from 
endangered animals, family pets or prized farm breeding 
stock? What condition will the sample material need to be in,
i.e. would it need to be snap frozen in liquid nitrogen or will
it be possible to bring the Dodo back to life using genetic
material from museum collections?
