The matter of cloning reached a peak when the CEO of BioArts International, Lou Hawthorne, announced to his company that they were no longer offering dog-cloning services since artificial creation was occurring just for a tiny and uninterested market. Though Stewart Brand was right in a way in talking about how artificial regeneration would lead to “conservation” of lost-species, the purpose of conservation should also be thought in terms of money. When Ehrlich stated that de-extinction, or rather “uninterested” genetics, is “a fascinating but dumb idea”, the CEO and Ehrlich were correct since genetic evolution, is an unnecessary medium of science which involves the expenditure of large amounts of resources and requirements and garners risk

Though he stated the reason for bringing back the pigeons and elephants so as to “protect them to undo harm that humans have caused” (in other words, the human population’s second chance), he didn’t give any clear indication in his article on whether they would be able to thrive in the current environment. So not only huge amounts of money that would be invested “to bring new knowledge” would go down the trash, but all the other resources would also be put to waste. That is why, Ehrlich states that by bringing a meagre of a population into existence would not “compensate” for the past population, even if the resources of their original habitat aren’t “restored”.
One of the resource that would definitely not be restores is land. But if de-extinction experiments were to be legalized, land would have to be free from all the existing occupants of it and the conditions need to be favorable for de-extinct animals to settle on. Then technically, the native inhabitants would be under the radar of endangerment when actually, all the genetic scientists want is to “prevent extinctions” through …show more content…
She writes “Scientists have developed techniques in which the mother-tube’s diseased mitochondria are swapped with healthy ones from an egg donated by another woman”. Although, the method when explained in writing makes a ground-breaking claim on removing genetic diseases, no trials or research did she refer to in this article proved the credibility of this experiment. Therefore, genetically disease free babies to be invented is easier said than done if proper experimentation has yet not been
