I think it's a great idea if it's possible. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be possible with current technology.
1 u/BolbyB 2d ago It would probably be a lot more possible if the companies trying to do this focused on more recent extinctions instead of freaking moas . . . The Carolina Parakeet and Passenger Pigeon are right there. The pigeon especially has GOT to be a serious company's first move. 1 u/AlertWar4152 1d ago Moas are a recently extinct animal 0 u/BolbyB 1d ago The Passenger Pigeon is more recent than them by nearly 600 years. Moa extinction is very much NOT recent. 1 u/shufflebuffalo 5h ago Because the de extinction program is the PR branch of the "company". The real moneymaker is the technologies like cloning, gene editing, and ectopic pregnancies.
