Bringing woolly mammoths back from extinction might not be such a bad idea — ethicists explain.

US startup Colossal Biosciences has announced plans to bring woolly mammoths, or animals like them, back from extinction and into the frosty landscape of the Siberian tundra.

Colossal has received US$15 million in initial funds to support research conducted by Harvard geneticist George Church, among other work. The proposed project is exciting, with laudable ambitions — but whether it is a practical strategy for conservation remains unclear.

Theoretically, this could help reduce climate change.

Interesting. I am not sure this specific application would be successful, but CRISPER technology does seem to have some interesting potential medical uses so I am glad it is being researched.

A pity we're trying to create new elephants when we can't properly take care of the ones we've got...:hmmm::Kaleun_Crying:

Just reproduce Velociraptors with a genetic inclination to hunt humans near Elephants.

What could go wrong with that?

I agree with you Rockstar:

Theoretically, this could help reduce climate change.
