SU De Extinction Discussion

We learn in chapter 15 about conservation efforts to protect endangered species. There are some groups that are trying to approach this issue from a different angle, they are working to bring species back from extinction (this is called de-extinction). One well known example of this is the research group working to bring the Woolly Mammoth back. There are several TedTalks that explain what is happening and how they’re doing it. My favorite is from 2013 and I’ve linked it here. Colossal is the name of a company that is actively working to achieve de-extinction. For the discussion board this week I’d like you to visit their website and explore the “de-extinction” page. I hoping we can get a lively discussion going this week about this concept. Questions to think about as you write your post:Is de-extinction a good idea? or a bad idea?If we bring an animal back from the dead what are some of the potential positive outcomes?If we bring an animal back from the dead what are some of the potential negative outcomes?How do you think bringing back something like the Woolly Mammoth would impact people, planet, and profit?
