[QUOTE="Num7, post: 257010, member: 1"] Let's consider this idea: Going back in time to retrieve specimens of extinct species. Would that be ethical? Survival of the fittest. Nature designed certain species to survive and others not. Well, does that just mean that those species weren't meant to go on? So it would be against the natural course of nature to try to bring them back? There would also be risks, wouldn't there? Imagine bringing back a dangerous, extinct species of saber-toothed tiger. How do you know that they won't multiply at an exponential rate and start eating all the other animals in the wild? It would work the same way with ancient plants. What if we unleashed a plant from the distant past that started killing everything we grew? It's dangerous, right? This brings up the concept: If something like bringing back extinct animals from the distant past were to happen, should it be done in a very controlled way? Should these animals only be collected to obtain their DNA? And not released into the wild to repopulate their species? What do you think? Would that be ethical and okay to do? [/QUOTE]
