I think cloning species who have experienced extinction due to human domination is fairly justified, provided scientists confirm it won't mess with the current balance of the ecosystem too greatly.Shauna L.

There are few very important factors to be considered here. One is that cloning anything above a cell raises serious ethical questions, and until they are logically answered and cloning is " justified" cloning is unethical or simply not right. The other factor is that different animal species lived in different times and environment, so if we start with one who is to say where we are going to stop cloning, and how damaging could the effects of it be on bit the animals like the pyrenean ibex, the ecosystem and us.Last but not least, there are so many diseases we have no cure for maybe we should direct our efforts towards finding cure for them and preserving the species we have instead of "resurrecting " them later.<br />Great topic!

I do believe in both opinions. I do think that it is a good idea to bring back extinct species as long as this is not causing any harm to any other animals. In the future if this ever worked, we still need to be aware of what are we doing to our planet, that is causing so many species to die and try our best to save them.Karen Erazohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183398913554859917noreply@blogger.com
