    The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was passed when the U.S. Congress acknowledged that “various species of fish, wildlife, and plants in the United States have been rendered extinct as a consequence of economic growth and development” (“Endangered Species Act of 1973”). This congressional action has made the killing and eradication of any species illegal across the United States and its territories if said species is protected by the U.S. Federal Government. The Endangered Species Act has certainly been effective in the sense that it prevented many species from going extinct, but that does not mean it is above scrutiny or refinement. There are a few ethical flaws which are reflected in the limitations of protection status offered by the Endangered…

    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…

It provides protection in and outside the United States and while, “the law has been highly successful in the revival of some creatures... it also has been receiving a bit of heat…”(ConnectUs, 2015) .

    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.…

    The extinction of animals and living organisms is something most humans do not put into perspective, possibly until it’s almost too late. For example, humans don 't realise that their everyday lives are build around these creatures; what we eat, how we breathe, and how our world develops. I myself never thought about a world without whales, manta rays, tigers, plankton and owls and how important they are in my life until I came across the documentary Racing Extinction and the book Sustaining Life.... This new documentary shows examples of the harmful effects that humans cause on the world. Things like climate change, black market sales and the vanishment of animals, has sent the 220 countries the documentary aired in, in an uproar.…
