Sometimes Science is made a fool of

 So how about we give a f*** about the countless growing list of animals going extinct now, why don't we care about the 80 billion land and trillions of marine animals slaughtered for unnecessary reasons every year.  

This is cool and all with the science behind getting to the point where we get the DNA can be fully recreated and parts can be sequenced but Is that not a successful project in itself???

why try to go through the process forcing another sentient being to carry a DNA sequenced from bones to try in part clone of parts of ancestors.

Like maybe I'm not understanding but they're still using DNA from the African Elephant? So it's not really the same as the real life mammoths that are no longer here. 

From the literally mouth of the main scientists working on this 

"Mammoth DNA, collected from tusks, bones and other preserved body parts found in ice, will be sequenced to create an “elephant-mammoth hybrid” that looks like a furrier, larger elephant with smaller ears and a high-domed head. "

This is not bringing the actual woolly mammoths back. It's fucking with the genom using CRISPER to make a hybrid,

Is this ethical? Why would we do this? Can we plan that we could make enough of these to create a stabilized population as there is a thing called functionally extinct. Genetic diversity??

Like these are just issues from the perspective of if we did and how would it work?

It's like us humans like to think of other species as one monolith where we can pick a choice of aspects, features, and just recreate like Legos. Bringing dead species back to life whereas humans ( which are just a species of old world apes) 

Are giving all the consideration to if we would want this done on us. As we are inherently speciesist.

now at risk in total.

There are also concerns that bringing extinct species back even in part may allow the surfaceing of unknown pathogens. This alone should be the reason to just not.

Sometimes I'm torn, I love science and how things work but I feel like we would be far better if people acted on empathy and compassion first followed by the discoverable endeavors.
