I watched a show on the Discovery Channel (mostly science, biology,
etc. - it's "good for you" TV) about this guy. He's looking for a
frozen carcass of a male. He seems very sure that it could work, but
it'll take at least 50 years for a mostly mammoth to come around.

It would be cool if it worked.

Oh, sure, it always starts with "oooh" and "ahhh", but then comes the
yelling and the screaming...
