About this ebook

What Is De-Extinction

The process of creating an organism that either resembles or really is an extinct species is referred to as de-extinction. There are a few different approaches one might use while carrying out the process of de-extinction. Cloning is the approach that has received the most attention, although genome editing and selective breeding are two other options that have been studied. Techniques quite similar to these have been used on several endangered animals in the aim of increasing the genetic diversity of those populations. Cloning is the only one of these three methods that can produce an animal with the exact identical genetic make-up as the original. There are benefits and drawbacks associated with the process of de-extinction, which range from scientific and technical improvements to moral and ethical concerns.
