Part 7/7:
The technology to de-extinct animals like the Tasmanian tiger is rapidly advancing, with organizations like Colossal Biosciences leading the charge. While the potential benefits—restoring ecological balance and reuniting the world with species long lost—are enormous, they come with significant scientific, ethical, and environmental considerations.
As scientists continue to push the boundaries of genetic engineering, society must grapple with questions of responsibility and foresight. The coming decade may see the dawn of an era where extinct species are no longer forever lost to history, but reintroduced into the living world—reshaping our understanding of life on Earth.
