Should and can extinct species be brought back through cloning and genetic engineering?
You are scientist trying to get money for a de-extinction project. Outline your plans for de-extinction for an animal or plant, and why you think it would be interesting or important to bring this particular species back into modern times. Explain the strength and difficulties of such a project, and any comments you might think are important to convince someone to support the project financially, given the possibility of potential, ethical and technical objections some people might have (e.g. would such technology enable anyone to resurrect not only ‘beneficial’ species, but also harmful ones (viruses, microbes)?
