Researchers are ever so pleased to find a substantial amount of the DNA needed to map the woolly mammoth's genome. Much cooler than mapping the genome is making a mammoth and some consider that.
The trouble is that it wouldn't be a mammoth because the known mammoth DNA would get spliced into existing DNA from an elephant with the result being some kind of hybrid elemmoth. (LiveScience: Woolly Mammoth Clones Closer Than Ever, Thanks to Genome Sequencing)
However, there are some basic questions of this time which really don't need answering:
1) Is it really possible and desirable to build a woolly mammoth in the same way one restores an old Chevrolet?
2) Why did Taylor Swift remain a virgin until she was twenty-five?
3) In the neo-Newtonian Test of the Physics of Politics, which one hits the ground first, cellulite (Clinton) or blubber (Trump)?
(Ed: how is that test to be conducted?)
Drop both of them off the Leaning Tower of Pisa and time how long it takes for them to hit the ground.
After four Jurassic Park movies, there's really not much to add to the situation except maybe you ought to consider more carefully the idea of making huge hybrid animals, especially when the most recent achievements of those who will do it are the machines which can put E. coli in bottled water.
Note: that's true and happened recently.

Ms Swift was the toast of the town when she attended Beech High School
maybe she was restored like an old chevy
She's almost getting old enough to look like a real woman and it seems she's now going to start acting like one so maybe that means she starts singing like one. She always come across like she auditions for the Mickey Mouse Club but maybe now she will buff woof a tad.
There hundreds of examples on Thy shall not screw with Mother Nature
ie. rabbits in Aussie land
or by accident. Silver Carp in so many rivers
or nutria and pythons in florida after Hurricane Andrew released so many species from zoos in southern florida
We are nowhere smart enough to think this through correctly
Agreed right down the line. This is a Bad Idea.
