"Should pose no health issues"

Creatures that once lived eight million years ago have been successfully thawed from the ice of an Antarctic glacier, in an experiment that sounds like a scene from a science fiction film.

Scientists found the microorganisms in ice samples from ancient Antartic glaciers
The feat of revival was managed with as yet unidentified single-celled microbes and should pose no health issues, say the scientists

I for one welcome our thawed micro-organic overlords.

The micro-organic overlords would probably be pro-global climate change, given that they spent 8 million years encased in ice.

Does this mean that they have the technology to thaw out Walt Disney?
