@romanpackham8471 Before anyone says “Jurassic Park proves that this is a bad idea”, you have to look back at this one scene in that movie that hints a big difference between cloning dinosaurs and cloning Pleistocene megafauna like Mammoths:
John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
John Hammond: Condors. Condors are on the verge of extinction...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: [shaking his head] No...
John Hammond: If I was to create a flock of condors on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, hold on. This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction.
If you don’t get it, dinosaurs were killed off by nature-related elements whether climate changes or that asteroid. Condors and other endangered species, or even extinct species, were being unfairly killed off by human activities such as deforesting or overhunting. There is a theory that Mammoths became extinct because of early Homo Sapiens overhunting them. So if we humans are responsible for their extinction, then it should be our responsibility to fix or restore things by bringing them back from extinction and to help them connect with the modern world(like the plan of using them to stop global warming).
Any comments?
