Resurrecting Extinct Species:The Debate Is On

This article debates whether de-extinction (the resurrection of extinct species through cloning) is possible. To revive an animal scientists must have DNA samples, then rearrange the DNA into a genome, then replace the genome of existing embryonic cells. There must also be an existing similar animal to serve as the mother of the resurrected animal. This was actually done in 2003 but the animal died 10 minutes after birth from a genetic mutation. The debate goes one way saying that this would change environmental laws. If de-extinction is a success, humans could start to destroy more of the environment knowing that these animals can easily be reproduced. On the other hand de-extinction would let human beings return what they destroyed and redeem themselves from past mistakes. I believe we shouldn't do such a thing, this is how a zombie apocalypse begins, the day we start trying to revive human beings, you know it can happen. What’s gone is gone and we shouldn’t bring it back because human beings are just going to kill them off again one way or another, laws or not. http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/195893/resurrecting-extinct-species-the-debate-is-on/
