    I believe this sort of thing has been tried before with a mammoth, if failed. The DNA inside of the creature was far too old to actually be usable again. A cell has to split in order to create more cells, and over time the cells will become too small to split, such as the lamb they cloned successfully died at a very young age, because the DNA that was taken from the original lamb was aged somewhat, then it stayed aged and caused the lamb to die eariler. I don't want to here anything about creatures being preserved in ice either, ice may freeze them, but they die because they cannot move around and do natural body functions, therefore the whole creature dies, and if the whole creature dies, then so do the cells, because they have nothing to produce energy from.

    So, in other words, it's immpossible to bring something that is dead back to life.
    Dude, please don't say anything this stupid again. Cells don't become too small to split, when they say split they actually mean the cell replicates itself and the one it creates is an exact copy (like cloning). An animal that is frozen does not die because it can't "move around and do natural body functions", the animal dies of hypothermia usually, unless it's a flash freezing than it probably died of suffocation. DNA is extractable (usually) from most things that have DNA cells, no matter how old it is, as long as they can put together the whole strand.
