<span>Soda is the middle child, and as the most amiable of the three, he often gets caught in-between Ponyboy and Darry when they clash. Ponyboy and Darry often argue, and when they do, they both want Soda to be on their side, forgetting that he has his own problems too. In Chapter 12, this is clearly illustrated when Darry confronts Ponyboy about his behavior since the deaths of their friends. Ponyboy retorts, "You'd like that, wouldn't you" You'd like me just to get out. Well, it's not that easy, is it, Soda?" Soda responds by crying "Don't", and runs out of the house, shocking Darry and Ponyboy, who, in being so wrapped up in his own battles, have never considered that he had troubles of his own and needs their support sometimes too. Soda tells them, "I can't stand to hear y'all fight. Sometimes...it's like I'm the middleman in a tug o' war and I'm being split in half".</span>

Answer:
The reason that author provided that why some scientists believe that they should clone a wolly mammoth is because they want to learn about this extinct mammal.
Explanation:
"Woolly mammoths sparks debate over cloning" is an article written by Joyce Grant. The article speaks about the debate of scientists over cloning an extinct mammal, a wolly mammoth.
A Wolly Mammoth is an extinct species that belonged to the family of elephants. This species lived during the ice age some 10,000 years ago.
<u>The scientists have found a carcass of a wolly mammoth in ice on a remote island of Northern Russia. The scientists have studied its blood and tissue samples and wondered if they could get a complete DNA of the mammal, so that they could clone the mammal and study it</u>.
The reason author provided in the article for the scientists who believe that the mammal should be cloned is:
<em>"Many scientists think they could learn a lot more about the species if they could study a living example."</em>
