This post is not about climate change. It's about genetic engineering.
A lab team thinks that they can rebreed the woolly mammoth back into existence in 4 years. Seriously.
Scientists Are Reincarnating the Woolly Mammoth to Return in 4 Years
"The long-dead woolly mammoth will make its return from extinction by 2027, says Colossal, the biotech company actively working to reincarnate the ancient beast.So,
Last year, the Dallas-based firm scored an additional $60 million in funding to continue the, well, mammoth gene-editing work it started in 2021. If successful, not only will Colossal bring back an extinct species—one the company dubs a cold-resistant elephant—but it will also reintroduce the woolly mammoth to the same ecosystem in which it once lived in an effort to fight climate change, according to a recent Medium post."
A. I'll believe it when I see it.
B. I hope, if it can really be done, I get a chance to see it.
C. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, though.
