With Modern-day technology improving every minute it is safe to assume scientists and archaeologists are working together to try and revive extinct species. But should we bring them back? Does it benefit us?
As very intuitive mammals with the ability to grow and evolve each second, it is expected for us to be curious about other species, even deceased ones. De-extinction would allow us to evaluate these life forms. Not only would we learn more about the species we would also be gaining insight into how the world works. In doing so our environment could benefit from bringing back these extinct species. It is possible that when reviving species there is a chance that we could eliminate some of the issues our world is currently encountering restoring balance in biomes.
We have only ever seen species like these in books or on the internet it would be an immense accomplishment for humanity to be able to bring these creatures back and observe them living once again. Not only would we be bringing species back we would also be able to use the technology to preserve future species too.
However, there are concerns regarding de-extinction. For instance, it has been brought to concern that there would be a threat of new diseases that could impact humans. It is thought that when going through the process of de-extinction diseases that were wiped out when the species went extinct could make a return. To me personally, it would make more sense to use the technology we have to preserve the currently endangered species.
Although the idea of bringing back extinct species is exciting it just means whatever animals born from de-extinction will immediately be in captivity. We are not bringing these animals back to benefit the environment or for other animals’ benefits, the harsh reality is we are reviving these species to exploit them for information.
Back in 2009 de-extinction resulted in the successful birth of a Pyrenean Ibex however, the animal died shortly after its birth due to birth defects in its lungs. Once these animals are born, we are responsible for taking care of them if we do not history will just repeat itself and these animals will go extinct again. There is the danger of poaching too, what poacher would not want to be known for killing a previously extinct animal? Currently, extant species that are endangered are under human protection, what is the point of resurrecting more animals for us to have to protect. With the birth of these species, there is a chance we could lose extant species by sacrificing time and recourses to care for the resurrected ones. Is it possible that bringing back these animals could result in more biodiversity loss than gain? Afterall these new species will require a habitat and food to survive which could put current animals in the wild in jeopardy.
In the last 100 years, it is estimated that 500 animals have gone extinct, it is also estimated that since 1970 humans have been the cause of at least 60% of animal populations. Up to 1 million plant and animal species face extinction because of human activities, we are driving animals to extinction while also trying to revive more.
I believe we should focus on extant species and their survival rather than worrying about ones that are currently dead. At this rate, humans will cause mass animal extinction at our benefit. We have few reasons to resurrect these animals other than for our scientific improvement. Not only will de-extinction put current animals at risk, but we are also at risk of disease in which we do not know. Not to mention how expensive de-extinction is and how it could potentially affect our economy to bring back all these different extinct species. It is a learning experience but, it is one as humans we are not ready for at this current period.
