Totally fine with bringing back the Mammoths, so long as they bring back Sabre Tooth Tigers at the same time...

I am of a similar mindset, if science can bring back the Woolly Mammoth the results of bringing it back might not be what everyone is expecting.

The Woolly Mammoth went extinct for a reason, other than proving it can be done, what purpose does it serve.

What Is Series C Funding?

Businesses that raise Series C funding are already quite successful. These companies look for additional funding to help them develop new products, expand into new markets, or even acquire other companies. In Series C rounds, investors inject capital into successful businesses in an effort to receive more than double that amount back. Series C funding focuses on scaling the company, growing as quickly and successfully as possible.

One possible way to scale a company could be to acquire another company. Imagine a startup focused on creating vegetarian alternatives to meat products. If this company reaches a Series C funding round, it has likely already shown unprecedented success in selling its products in the United States. The business has probably already reached targets coast to coast. Through confidence in market research and business planning, investors reasonably believe the company would do well in Europe.

Perhaps this vegetarian startup has a competitor with a large market share. The competitor also has a competitive advantage from which the startup could benefit. The culture appears to fit well, as investors and founders both believe the merger would be a synergistic partnership. In this case, Series C funding could be used to buy another company. As the operation gets less risky, more investors come to play.

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.

Good. With this technology we can abolish the Endangered Species Act and drill baby drill and dam baby dam!

What a waste of money!
And, if they succeed, there would have to be protected, some reservation will be assigned.

Why not give that money to Ukraine?

They can’t recreate epigenetics.

It is common knowledge that things like maternal stress, nutrient consumption and gut bacteria can have drastic effects on the health and outcome of human infants.

How much more drastic would the changes be to a genetic mammoth growing inside the womb of animal of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPECIES?

Growing a human inside the womb of a monkey would not produce anything that resembles either a “human” or a “monkey”.

They can offer Woolly Mammoth rides at Disney to earn the money back.

Using AI to do large scale gene editing seems like such a good idea. /s
