De-Extinction

Do you think that bringing back extinct species would be a good idea, well I don’t. In my opinion I do not think that scientists should bring back Woolly Mammoths for many reasons. Some of those reasons would be, if God made Woolly Mammoths extinct then he did it for a reason. One more reason is that we don’t have anywhere to put the Woolly Mammoths. Also, what if something went wrong with the Woolly Mammoths and they got sick, if that were to happen we would have wasted a lot of money on something that turned out to fall apart.

One reason I think that Woolly Mammoths should be extinct is because if God had Woolly Mammoths extinct, he did it for a certain reason that should not be undone. As George Church says, “Woolly Mammoths keep places cold by eating grass which increases reflected light”, if it gets colder than the people living where the Woolly Mammoths are could die. George Church also says that, “ reanimation is not a panacea for ecosystems at risk”, so if it is not good for ecosystems at risk then why would we do it in the first place. These are some reasons that I think De-extinction shouldn’t happen. …show more content…

Stuart Pimm says, “In every case of De-extinction without an answer to where do we put them”, if scientists don’t have a place to put the Woolly Mammoths then what would have been the point of spending all that money and learning nothing. Mara Grunbaum says that “it may have advantages, but does that mean it’s a good idea”, I feel the same as her because when something has it’s advantages doesn’t mean it's a good idea. These are some more reasons that De-extinction is a bad

Societies and cultures such as our own can only advance if we learn from previous mistakes, in this case I am talking about extinct species of wildlife. In the past, people have killed a lot of animals in large numbers as they deemed fit for things that include a stable food source, resource, and to affect other peoples as with the bison. Bolen and Robinson made excellent points on this issue about how Americans waged war on Bison as an attempt to take away the Indian’s food source and how that is why the mighty bison is so scarce today (Bolen and Robinson 10). The bison and other examples in the text are great examples of Europeans overkilling and driving species of animals to extinction for various reasons, but it is very important. If we

For say, if the famous Woolly Mammoths were brought back, "Their return to the north would bring back carbon-fixing grass and reduce greenhouse-gas-releasing tundra” (Point para 3). Woolly Mammoths would help make the world a better, healthier place for people to live in for humans. They would also make the

’’ Also , In the article that I like that the auothor quotes is,“De-extinction may change priorities in other fields of science, such as medical research and the conservation of currently endangered species.” This quote is very importante because it is very true because by this it shows that rather than docters focusing on bringing back animals they should just focuse on people and sickness or dieseses that are happening

Imagine a world where dinosaurs exist again… a Jurassic World. Should scientists bring back extinct species, like that of the dinosaurs? De-extinction is no longer a thing of science fiction; scientists have been trying to clone a Wooly Mammoth since the summer of 2011. Sadly scientists have said that the actual dinosaurs, like that of a T-Rex, have been dead for too long and therefore cannot be brought back. De-

In 1842 a young English scientist named Richard Owen created the word Dinosauria to describe a newly discovered group of ancient animals. A word created from Greek roots meaning “terrible lizards” the name caught on. Although Owen created the name “Dinosaur” and took much of the credit for earlier paleontological study, he did not actually discover the fossils himself. Owens based his theory of dinosaurs on the first three published dinosaur discoveries.

Carl Zimmer, a writer for National Geographic, stated, “Some extinct animals also performed vital services in their ecosystems, which might benefit from their return” (Text 2, line 31-32). While this could be true, the possible negatives I’ve mentioned previously outweigh the positives, and a return to the wild is easier said than done. Another point for de extinction is made in Text 1, as the author says, “Some claimed that bringing back species that were caused to go extinct by human practices would… help make up for the wrong of extinction” (Text 1, line 25-26). The unfortunate truth of this matter is the wrong has already been done, and using de extinction to reverse it could possibly destroy ecosystems more, or prove completely futile. Most claims for de extinction can be disproven by showing how much is unknown about

In Colorado there is a wild horse and burro program for wild horses to roam across rural west. There is tens of thousands wild horses roaming free. They are growing very quickly says the workers that work at the program. They said they have removed some horses because they want wildlife and livestock to share land. They were putting some up in enclosed pastures but some think it’s cruel to corral up horses they should be free.

The tusks are not the only parts of the elephants that are hunted, and I honestly think they are not worth it. We should leave the beloved animals in the wild so we do not lose the entire species as a whole. Every year, more and more species are being executed due to humans needs and wants. If killing animals is what is “needed” to survive then the Earth will turn into a

For example, science says that they can’t get enough DNA from dinosaurs to be able to bring them back because they only have fossils. Wooly mammoths may be easier because their bodies have been frozen in ice making it easier to take the DNA and put it in elephants. This process can bring animals back that can affect our ecosystems in a very big way. They can also alter the ways of life in those ecosystems. But it could also repopulate areas that low in numbers, a very good thing.

We, the undersigned, are writing to convince you, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Daniel M. Ashe that the wolf is still an endangered species and should be protected under your law. The wolf has been part of the natural balance for thousands of years and in less than 100 years man through ignorance and misinformation have almost made the wolves disappear forever. We understand that the main problem with wolves is that they can pose a threat to cattle and other livestock owned by farmers and this can be solved by another solution other than taking the Gray Wolves off the endangered species list. If the Wolves are taken off the endangered species list than there is nothing that is protecting them from being killed by hunters and other anti-wolves activists.

Should extinct species be brought back to earth? In my opinion I think that de-extinction is a bad idea. Take the wooly mammoth for example, if scientists were to bring it back they could be taking resources away from other species causing them to disappear, humans might try to harm other animals that aren’t extinct, and scientists would have to successfully re-introduce this animal back into the lifestyle they used to have. Although some people believe that de-extinction is a good thing, I strongly disagree because of those three reasons.

If pandas were to go extinct then it would cause a dramatic change in the food system and the environment. I think every mammal was created for a reason and when it is gone then it will cause a chain effect in a negative and positive way. Once a certain species is gone then it will be gone forever unless scientists find a way to somehow bring it back. I think we have caused the pandas to be endangered because we have destroyed their environment. If we had not have bothered their habitat then they would have lived perfectly

As the world we live in today continues to warm up, the problems surrounding the survival of the world’s beloved polar bear continues to grow. Over the past twenty years, we’ve seen a change in the number of polar bears in the Arctic and have witnessed a decrease of the amount of Arctic ice in the sea. Many scientist have come up with ideas to tackle the problem, but there hasn’t been a solution that has greatly influenced the predicament at hand. Ultimately, when discussing what to do about the endangered animals, it is valuable to consider what the species needs in order to remain; a healthy population and genetic diversity. Andrew Derocher, biologist at the University of Alberta, and the rest of his team have come up with a few ways to combat these needs.

Not only serious, but cruel and unnecessary. Every day, the number of animal casualties continue to escalate while the remaining population dwindles down to extinction. It's easy to dismiss this since we don't directly rely on some of these organisms. However, all aspects of the environment are connected in one way or another. An extinction of one species could threaten many other populations.
