Hey Mary, your forum post is really interesting, and I really enjoyed hearing your opinion on de-extinction. I definitely see where you are coming from in terms of using these resources to repopulate currently endangered species. I am also a firm believer in things happen for a reason and that there was possibly a good reason behind why the mammoths became extinct in the first place. However, I also believe in second chances so my thinking kind of contradicts itself. I hope that if they are successful in bringing back the woolly mammoth, that they take precautions in protecting it from what caused its extinction in the first place.
