De-Extinction!


Bringing back extinct species is not worthwhile

Science. Scientists. De-extinction. How can these all lead to “ Oh let’s bring back extinct species! “ I really have no clue! All though extinct species may be cool but where are they going to live? What are they going to eat? Who is going to look after them? Well! This article will inform YOU why we SHOULDN'T bring back extinct species.

Health:

There is a down side about de-extinction! Extinct animals can carry retroviruses, which can lead to a massive breakout around the world. Usually cells convert DNA to RNA, ( a ribonucleic acid is a polymeric molecule. ) but! With retroviruses the process goes backwards. RNA to DNA, crazy right! Viruses can move at a fast pace, even faster than thought. Especially if these viruses are fast at reproducing. Now this is a reason why extinct species shouldn’t be brought back to life.

Environment:

More than 99 percent of the 8.7 million species have all died out, crazy right! Well this must mean each species has died at different times, and after those times our earth has had a huge change effect. Which must mean all food and environment must have changed and so those species wouldn’t be used to the new food and environment. So how can they live? Well I'm not sure either! I guess de-extinction isn’t a good idea after all…


Animal Welfare:

Scientists can use species for a solely human purpose, they have the ability to harm those species, not a great plan at all. If we decided to bring back extinct species, there shouldn’t be any harm towards them because these species are not bought to be studied but brought back to enjoy life.
