Part 6/7:
While the prospect of de-extinction is exhilarating, it also raises critical questions. Should humans attempt to bring back extinct species, and if so, which species are appropriate candidates? What are the potential risks of releasing genetically engineered animals into the wild? Could their presence disrupt existing ecosystems or pose unforeseen challenges?
Moreover, de-extinction does not undo the damage caused by current human activities. Critics argue that resources might be better spent protecting endangered species and habitats rather than focusing on resurrecting the past.
