Can/should we to bring back/clone extinct species?
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:50 pm
For my science inquiry for the biology unit, I decided to look at cloning and the ethics behind that. I've got 6 supporting question to answer the main question which is "Can/should we to bring back/clone extinct species?"
These are my supporting questions:
Q1: Would extinct species survive in the present?
Q2: Is it okay to clone some species but not others? *
Q3: Is there a difference between cloning extinct animals and endangered animals or not? *
Q5: How might different groups of people view this? i.e. Cloning – conservation vs resurrection. Would any of these people be fit to make the decision to do cloning?
Q6: How would bringing these creatures impact the ecosystem? Would it redefine them, creating new keystone species, or would it disrupt everything? *
I'm going to put an asterisk next to the questions I haven't done, so if you have any ideas, please help. (needs to be completed by the end of the week but I can use the first weekend of my school holidays).
Please and thank you!!
