NThe recovery of the extinguished species in the form of EWS howl, ivory, “Dira Wolf” sons, were clearly exciting in front of it. The only problem: from the point of view of many scientists, creatures are not terrible wolves.
Laboratory modified by over 19,000 genes in a living hall to create his sons in the living hall. The animals obtained are thus only the smallest junk, in our opinion, about 0.0018%, a terrible wolf. These animal manufacturers also edited in some of the dogs that, although not terrible wolves, it could be taken into account in order to add some of the brand Dira Wolf-Y features, while avoiding possible genetic problems. This approach is the same as in other such “extinction” efforts. For example, “wool mice” proclaimed – last month with a stepped stone to the wool mammoths – their own furry hair from genes that had nothing to do with mammoths. The logic here is something like this: if the final product looks like a bag of Louis Vuitton, is it really important, was it made of different materials?
The challenge of so -called so -called extinction efforts is that we think they are actually attracting the focus of one of the grave of the planet from the crisis: accelerating decline and nature extinction. A century of research has shown us that every lost dolphin, rhinoceros, frog, turtle, butterfly and bird have been like pulling out a block in the Jeng Tower, which supports human health, food, water and livelihood. Those terrible wolves and other beings who may be “extinct” do not necessarily have to behave, eat or sound like the species they allegedly repeat. As such, they cannot fill in the gaps of this beautiful life tower.
Indeed, the suggestion that we have just solved extinction is offensive to the thousands of people who have devoted their lives, and sometimes sacrificed them, making the heavy, true, but often uneven works of protecting endangered species.
For example, preserving a gray wolf is a difficult boost and a pull in the management of large carnivores, which often comes to places where the simplest meal is someone's living tool. The coalition of scientists, politicians, wildlife leaders and community groups, who in 1995, helped to reintroduce 14 gray wolves in Yellowstone Park in 1995, many would agree that wolf obtaining and liberation was not a difficult part, instead, there is a constant need to manage and protect, which has grown to be managed and protected, which has grown in nearly 3,000 wolves. These efforts include continuous monitoring of wolves through family doctors and other technology, permanent investment in protecting livestock and pets in tool development and introduction, and widespread compensation programs to solve the economic impact of wolf reduction. At first glance, these challenges have been involved as partners under the leadership of California's rapidly recovering gray wolf. The creation of genetically modified gray wolves, which is larger, more hungry and stronger, is not a list of anyone's priorities. The colossal biological sciences, a company that has constructed “Direct Wolves”, has said that it hopes to finally restore these species to ecological preservation or indigenous countries. There is no scenario where the naturalization of the creatures produced in the Dira Wolf project would be something other than the size of the Jurassic Park.
The normalization of transgenic approaches and the exploitation of “extruded” animals in the shadow of nature conservation is dangerous, but that does not mean that the use of advanced technology is not opposed to extinction. Quite the opposite. We need to throw everything we have in the crisis of extinction, including the most cutting -edge technologies at our disposal. But as a community, we need to use these tools wisely, transparently and ethically.
Think of the charismatic black foot of Elizabeth Ann, born in 2020, distinguishing between the first cloned endangered species. Elizabeth Ann is a Dilla Clone of the Died Ferret in the 1980s. Returning complete versions of endangered species of frozen cells of decades may not be as sexy as a transformed mammoth or terrible wolf promise, but the resurrection of Elizabeth Ann needed the genetic diversity needed to re -enemise endangered and ecologically significant ferrous population, thereby slowing down the consequences. Similar efforts have been made, hoping to benefit from extinct Pyrenean Ibex, Banteng (and endangered Bovid), pink pigeons and wild przewalski horse.
Or take the Sudan, the North -White rhinoceros in 2018, leaving the remaining representative of this species. Scientists use advanced IVF techniques (developed for the first time with fertility pairs of people, surrogate -nose -nose mother and Sudanese frozen sperm to bring white rhinoceros from the extinction shift. This technically complex but important project has taken up the team's efforts. Conservanchi, Leibniz Zoo and wildlife research, Safari Park DVůR Králové, San Diego Zoo Nature Conservation Association, Avantea, Auxiliary Requirement, Colossal Biosciences (same as Dira Wolly Projects). 100% natural northern white rhinoceros – non -ecological imitation or merger.
The case of a black -footed ferret and a northern white rhinoceros help highlight some of the projects where extinction technologies can be used to combat extinction. This includes focusing on species that can be resurrected through complete genetic integrity, and investing in species that can be realistically introduced to nature today, and grow into the size of the population that actually restore lost ecological functions.
There is also a lot and we need to learn through analogy with human experiences when considering the right and wrong ways to put tools in essence and ethically ethically ethically ethically ethically ethically to work for canning. Society, almost instinctively, admits that there are lines that should not be exceeded: enlarging or editing children to maximize sports achievements, creating super soldiers, etc. However, many scientists and governments also agree to the use of genetic technologies to improve the results of healthcare, such as car treatment for a CRISPR motor to save the lives of cancer tests.
Editing small DNA from extinct species to modern relatives, with the aim of declaring extinction solved, is an example of science and society that works shallow work with the deepest technology ever invented. All this is because the clock of extinction is immobile for species that are currently sharing this planet with us.
Instead of evaluating our remaining real gray wolves inspiring and scary legendary things and continuing the difficult conversations and hard work needed to keep them on the planet. And in the same way, the course is facing thousands of other species today against extinction. Winning the extinction of the battle requires more of us than the production of mutant wolves and hairy mice.
