Why? The order of Nature extincts beings and variants of beings when they no longer fit into the biosphere and cannot adapt. The elephant continued, and the mammoths went extinct. Are they gonna resurrect Neanderthal or perhaps T-Rex or sabre-toothed tigers too?
I wish karma on all scientists and companies who are involved in this terrible project.
I don't see anything wrong with that either. If it can be done, it should be done. We can use that tech for other uses or for ourselves. Just because nature wiped it out, doesn't mean we shouldn't bring it back to life. The sad Irony is that, most species got get wiped out by deforestation and generally human intervention.It does not hurt anyone or anything, therefore I don't see anything ethically wrong with it.
The only reason why they are using the woolly is because we have a compatible surrogate species known as the elephant. It makes cloning easier and it will help us better understand how this technology can be used. Plus the findings and results we will use to improve the tech and eventually bring back other extinct species.
If it's used for good and has reasons to help some of the endangered species or species that have been wiped off because of our wrong doing, is why this needs to happen. If we can bring back the woolly mammoth, we can use that technology to bring back other extinct species that were wiped by us.
I hate that people are using the ivory for it but that's probably the only reason I would say is 'unethical' about it. Is that why you are against it? If that's the reason, than I would agree, but you can't stop poachers from doing the wrong thing. You can see that even now, they don't seem to give a shit even if it's rotting and infact, it's that disgusting greed that fuels their cravings ugh...gross!
