its exciting but there needs to be ethnical considerations put into place when we start doing these live cloning type of things
the reason why i say that is because i dont want use to start moving towards unethnical cloning for medical usage and research....it could be a slippery slope
bringing back life is cool and for preservation reasons, but i can see where if you had enough money...you might beyond that and get crazy about it
its very sci fi but we are there now.....you get rich enough and you create a clone of yourself to donate stem cells and organs to yourself

I just listened to the CEO of Colossal on Joe Rogan and it was fascinating. The wolves are so cool but Wooly Mammoths and Dodo birds are coming too.

I guess I look at it a little differently. Why did those animals go extinct in the first place? More than likely, as has happened throughout billions of years of history, the habitat changed and could no longer support their species. So we want to bring them back to life for what; so we can put them in zoos, because the habitat loss is still there! Even if we could release them back into nature they would not survive.
It is estimated that 150 species go extinct EVERY DAY! Just how do we plan to decide which species get to come back and which ones don't? And in the bigger picture of that scheme, why would we bring back a top-tier predator?
The endgame here is obvious; all of this research and testing is to see if it CAN be done, with the real eye on ultimately applying it to humans. If we decide that cloning humans is not a good thing then we should probably shut down all attempts at cloning anything - period!

Well stated.

"the habitat changed and could no longer support their species"
In the case of the Mammoth, Dodo, Tasmanian Tiger and Passenger Pigeon, we wiped them out, you could make the argument that we could right a wrong by bringing them back and their native habitat can support them.
Not sure why the Dire Wolf was the first up since it was part of a much larger die off and would not have the necessary food sources if thrown back into the wild. Maybe they are first because of PR and damn cute.

I like dogs , but are they not nothing more than a Hybred ?
I read they are suppose average 300 lbs. Will they get that large.
Have agree with Marisa on this one.

Just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we SHOULD do something.

Well get ready for more. Gene splicing is has really only been around for about 10 years and there are a lot more doors to open but I'm not sure if we'll get Tyrannosaurus Rex since I don't believe there's close living relative to splice in T Rex. But you never know!

AI with human cloning tech. Just noting the change of movies here from Jurrasic Park to The Matrix for those following. I'd say LoL but it's not so funny.

"Just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we SHOULD do something. " Marrisa_G has it right

"AI with human cloning tech" oh my god can you imagine?!
that would be suuuch a nightmare lol literally

I know some people are saying they’re just grey wolves, but I think it’s deeper than that…
a magnificent combo of both sides — something entirely new. That’s what makes them
feel magical to me.
But I do wonder — are their instincts confused in this new world? Will they feel at home, or are they being shaped into something that doesn’t quite fit? I hope they find their place, live comfortably, and get the care they need.

Absolutely not !!
I love what Marissa said, real talk.
Too many unwanted animals in the world, why do we need more.... ?

I am not sure we should be doing this.
Some of the species that might be brought back became extinct as the result of an extinction level event such as the meteor that made the crater in Winslow Arizona. We could end upsetting the current natural order.
