The whole premise of "Jurassic Park" was preposterous on its face. Making clones of long-dead animals? We know better.But now a Japanese team has taken -- let's say, a step. They report, in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that they cloned mice from bodies that had been kept frozen for 16 years. It's not bringing life back from the Jurassic, just the 1990s, but still, it's something most biologists would have thought impossible.
