The De-extinction Dilemma: Is this Process Really Worth It?

Ben Lamm’s Colossal Biosciences aims to revive extinct species like the mammoth, dodo, and thylacine through genetic engineering, sparking global debate on the science and ethics of de-extinction.

The revived animals, often “proxy species,” are not true replicas but gene-edited versions of living relatives. The article by C R Ramana Kailash argues that de-extinction, though scientifically remarkable, risks diverting attention and resources from conserving existing species and ecosystems—the only real path to sustaining biodiversity. The author feels that while the science behind de-extinction offers hope, our priority should always be ensuring that we protect the ecosystems and species we have now rather than betting on the ability to bring back those that are already gone.
