Pros And Cons Of Bringing Back Extinct Species

Decent Essays
I believe that not all species should be brought back, but only those that can help the survival of an ecosystem and other species within an ecosystem. If we were to bring all species, that species can become invasive that upsets the current ecosystem. Also, species can bring back a disease that may spread to other species in which can kill off an entire ecosystem. Bringing back extinct species is about seeking if we can draw help from reviving extinct species in which can successfully help an ecosystem and even prevent extinction of another species.ng back extinct animals may be a whole new discovery, it can bring great danger to currently existing animals and also humans in many ways.

    In addition to the fear of cognitively functioning animals lies the fear of breaking the natural order of nature, where the evolution of the world’s species would be dictated by humans, not the ecosystem’s natural order. (Yu). The natural order is formed by the boundaries of specification of different biological species such as homo-sapiens and other creatures. By creating a completely scientific species, it destroys the barrier that we’ve logically set to distinguish humans apart from animals. David Haussler, a cofounder of the project to bring back extinct animals, stated, “There’s always this fear that somehow, if we do it, we’re going to accidentally make something horrible, because only nature can really do it right.…

    No,because some actually help our environment but at the same time we should have rules on them. It's not quite redemption, but one of most loathed invasive species in the world—the European green crab has had a surprisingly positive effect on an ecosystem. On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, researchers have found that the crab is reversing a decades long trend of damage that other species has inflicted on salt marsh. It might be the first nice thing that the green crab has done for anyone. Another thing is that envasive species are also dangourus to the enviroment.it could also threten us and the animals lives.somany thiongs can also threten us and the place we live so i think we should have rules.…

    Any levelheaded person would love to have a soft baby tiger napping on their lap. Although petting a tiger would be a dream come true for many people, are there any physical or mental implications the baby tiger might endure? Is it morally justified for one’s wishes to be granted at the sake of an animal 's welfare? Should animals be used for one’s amusement or should they merely be left to their own device? Animal captivity brings forth its own set of problems even when the desire to conserve is present.…

    ere it ends up” (Christy). This is loosely interpreted to mean that researchers try to trace the routes of poachers; however, it is too much work and requires too many people without the promise of success. Therefore, it may be easier to let the poachers continue with what they have been doing. Everyone knows that elephants are eventually going to die, every living creature does.…

    When families go to SeaWorld they are surrounded by sea creatures; some of the main attractions include dolphin shows and sensational performances of the Killer Whales. Audiences view the shows and enjoy tricks that trainers and animals perform. However, they can be dangerous but can still have a playful personality with a lot of intelligence (Kirby, 3). Unfortunately, these large animals are in tanks that keep them restricted from returning to the ocean, thus placing themselves and their trainers in danger. Orcas have been known for attacking their trainers, like Dawn Brancheau in 2010.…

Looking at the bigger picture, it’s not the species that is being preserved at this point. It is species of an ecosystem that we should be focusing on.…

    In the early 1900’s, the loss of habitat and extermination programs led to the gray wolf’s demise. Wolves have once roamed all over the country. They’ve been nearly hunted to extinction with only 50 wolves left in the wild when Yellowstone National Park was young. Hunters back then thought they were helping the deer and elk by killing the wolf, its main predator. They were wrong.…

    Have you ever thought of how the world would be if scientists were able to bring extinct animals back to life? In 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists brought an extinct animal back to life just to see it become extinct again. Even though the animal became extinct again, it shows that it is possible to resurrect an extinct animal. De-extinction is possible but humanity’s understanding of it will grow in the future. When we think of de-extinction or resurrection, we think that scientists are actually going to bring back an extinct animal not cloning it.…

    Essay On De-Extinction

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Over the past few decades, many animals have become extinct either due to natural causes or humans. Recently scientists and researchers believe that animals can be brought back to existence through a process called de-extinction. Some believe that bringing them back to life will make up for the wrong of extinction as stated in Text 1 : 3Q The Ethics of Species ‘De -Extinction’ by Angela Herring. However others claim that because of de-extinction, extinct species are being brought back but millions of other species in the ecosystem are at risk of extinction, stated in Text 3 : Case against Species Revival. Extinct species should not be brought back into existence because it will put many species at risk and will create controversy in…

    The debate surrounding the use of invasive animal research has been ongoing throughout history. Proponents of the practice are quick to point out the multitude of benefits that have emerged from the practice such as the cures and vaccines to major diseases such as polio, and their capacity to continue to do so in the future. Opponents often claim that the moral status of these animals deem it morally impermissible to do any time of research that can harm them, no matter what the benefits for humans may be. This is especially true in the argument against invasive chimpanzee research. Chimps share similar genetics with humans and have been shown to exhibit an array of emotional responses similar to those of humans, but this does not necessarily…

    An essential ingredient to improving animal welfare and human health is to farm slower and smaller. The World Animal Protection and the Farm Animal Initiative have developed a project called the Model Farm Project in effort to promote humane farming internationally. The WAP link, “Farm Animal Welfare,” argues that humane farming is both profitable and sustainable. The WAP asserts that keeping farms moderately sized creates jobs, reduces pollution and environmental damage (and expensive clean up efforts), and raises profits because healthy animals are less costly to maintain. In terms of animal welfare, the key is allowing animals to behave and eat as normally as possible.…

    To decide which species to be saved is hard due to how every specifies plays a big role into their own ecosystems and their own living situations. It is upsetting to feel that people do only care about the species that are helping their own environment in an important way and who give the environment benefits then the ones who are helping their environment flow smoothly. The method of Function First chooses to decide what species will be saved due to the critical roles and situations in their ecosystems. This means though, that biodiversity will most probable occur in other zones who give a little bit to their own ecosystem. I believe all species have a right to live though.…

    In the article Bringing Them Back to Life by Carl Zimmer, scientists are debating on whether they should bring back extinct animals or not. Some say that it would be cool to actually “de-extinct” an animal, but is it really worth the time and money to do so? Cloning can involve several different processes such as injecting nuclei into other animal cells, restructuring genomes and reprogramming cells. Bringing back or cloning animals from the past would be great scientific achievement but then again the past is the past and should maybe left that way. There is great debate of de-extinction; the pros of scientific advancement and preservation or the cons of playing God and wasting money.…
