Pros And Cons Of De Extinction

What is de extinction? De extinction is bringing a species that has gone extinct back to life. De extinction has its pros and cons, but it is probably more beneficial for the environment than not. Have you decided if it is good or bad? Most people think of dinosaurs when the here the word de-extinction, but it’s not just dinosaurs. It’s all kinds of different species. We can’t say that something is bad if we’ve never seen it or witnessed it’s actions. So who's to say that de extinction is a bad thing. To begin, de extinction could show and/or give us information about evolution that we don’t already know. For example, in the article “5 Reasons To Bring Back Extinct Animals ( And 5 Reasons Not To)” by Brenna Draxler states, “Scientific knowledge: De-extinction could offer insights into evolution and natural resources that are currently unavailable to us.” This shows us that with taking DNA from extinct animals and putting it into similar species that are living could bring about a new species. In
“Technological advancement: De-extinction could be a big step forward for genetic engineering.”(written by Brenna Draxler) There are so many ways we could benefit from de extinction and genetic engineering is definitely one of them. With de extinction scientists could learn of the possibilities of giving certain animals different skills that could help them survive during harsh conditions. I mean they already do it with food, why wouldn’t they be able to do it with animals. To prove my point, the bottomline is, with the knowledge scientists can acquire with new species there is a possibility of keeping more animals safe and that could have huge positive effect on the ecosystem. Even though it would be a huge adjustment, there is definitely a widespread environmental impact that could happen for the better, and it all has to do with the genetics and the traits the species is
