, referring to the science of redesigning organisms for specific purposes, other than the woolly mammoth.

"There are two main things that are endangering it. One is a herpes virus. And the other is close proximity to humans. So we'd like to fix both of those and give them a new home, where there's vast amounts of space with almost no humans, which is northern Canada, Alaska and Siberia." "Then we can turn those cells into animals by transferring the nucleus, the DNA-containing part of the cell, in it into an egg and then it develops into piglets, in that case," Church said. Those genetically modified pigs are healthy enough to be used for organ transplants in preclinical trials in three hospitals around the country, he said.

Sounds like Jurassic Park!

Well this idea certainly does raise the question, “what could possibly go wrong?” The list of potential negative unintended consequences is enormous.

Zero likelihood.

Who would invest in this?

Don't we have more pressing issue to combat instead of some unnecessary grandiose plan to tinker with mother nature.

👀

Reminds me of a very famous Spielberg movie 🎥...Resurrected

Like, WHY?

So we're going to recreate extinct animals and release them into the wild? A stray beetle gets transplanted from Asia to North America and we're boned. How is this going to work?

Why

Jurassic park , I seen this movie 😂😂😂

Hope this is not done .. later someone will create Dinosaur also

THIS PROGRAM SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! WE DO NOT NEED TO EXPLOIT FORMERLY DEAD ANIMALS , PUT THEM IN ZOOS IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO PROFIT OFF OF THEM! EVERY DAY WE KILL OFF FOOD INSECTS WITH OUR LED LIGHT BULBS! NO INSECTS = NO FOOD IN 50 YEARS, YOU STUPID PEOPLE! Harvard

Just what we need.

Geez, just what we need, bigger animals that need more food supply. These guys need to think beyond the science.

THIS WOULD PROTECT THE PERMA FROST!

18 mos into a pandemic that's killed over 4.5 million people and destroyed lives & economies world-wide without a fully effective vaccine or cure but they want millions of dollars to resurrect a whole ass extint species the world has been just fine without for millions of years.

Why though, and you can’t say “because we can”

Another virus in the making

NYCGuy74 NO.

Bad idea.

If we can put a Woolly mammoth on a SpaceX the human race will be vindicated.

idiots

spoiler: like all start ups, it will not succeed.

Have we learned nothing from Jurassic Park and all of its sequels
