The fierce debate over whether to clone a woolly mammoth has brought some concerns regarding the ethics of such a project.

Insung Hwang, a Geneticist from Sooam, the South Korean Biotech company which has been working on the project, said that his is expected to achieve the goal this weekend, using the fresh blood samples they have recovered.
