Firstly, I have no problem with de-extinction. It was humans after all who drove several of these species to extinction in the first place.

Secondly, the technology that is developed doing this will have a lot of uses for regenerative medicine (ie growing bespoke replacement organs/body parts for each person) that would do a lot to cure disease and injury.

Also, the same technology will allow us to produce real meat in labs. That would be revolutionary in terms of land use, environmental impact, space travel, etc etc.

We WANT this technology.

For the few who can afford it, yes.

We WANT this technology.

But do we TRUST this technology?
