paragraph_text: The revival of the woolly mammoth is a proposed hypothetical that frozen soft-tissue remains and DNA from extinct woolly mammoths could be a means of regenerating the species. Several methods have been proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning, artificial insemination, and genome editing. Whether or not it is ethical to create a live mammoth is debated.
  
  In 2003, the Pyrenean ibex was briefly revived, giving credence to the idea that the mammoth could be successfully revived.
