De-extinction refers to the reversal of extinction through advanced cloning. How does it work? Can de-extinction bring dead animals to life? What ethical questions does it raise? Palki Sharma tells you.

I remember hearing news about reviving and cloning the Mammoth when I was a kid, 20 years ago... Technology is stagnating in 21st century... 70 years ago they landed on the moon, they flied to space and said in 2000s we will have flying cars now most of worlds population struggling to survive...

[radhikashey]

Its commendable that science has progressed this far but just because WE CAN doesn't mean that WE SHOULD. What's gone, that's gone. Instead of wasting resources on reviving them Please work on saving what exists and endangered to get extinct. 😊

[Martin_Priesthood]

"hit and miss" "misshaped lungs" 😢😢. We can't even take care of the elephants that are around. ."hairy situation" indeed.
👌🙏 Good analysis 🥰

Is a matter of time before they create a monster that will wipe out everyone

I love how you deliver stories of non political nature.Serious yet entertaining.I loved Jurassic Park.I do hope we dont go down that road of de-extincting animals.Either embark on conservation of endangered species or let extinct animal remain extinct.May be animal species are not meant to remain forever on this planet.Well done

[AnonymousAnonymous-dcjm]

Imagine using a sloth to de-extinct the Giant ground sloth.

As the legend says, its easier to build a time machine rather to bring back an extinct animal from the dead

[abhishes]

The way the war between NATO and Russia is progressing ... I hope this technology would work for Humans too

[robertsummerfield]

The real issue is to save, replenish and respect what is remaining.

I wanted to clear up a common misconception about extinct animals. You know how we often think they were these huge, monstrous creatures? Well, turns out, that's not always the case! When we discover fossils of prehistoric animals, it doesn't necessarily mean they were bigger than today's animals. Take the T-Rex, for example. It was actually slightly smaller than a modern African elephant, which is quite different from how they've been portrayed in movies like Jurassic Park. The biggest land animal from prehistoric times, the Argentinosaurus, wasn't even as big as a blue whale, the largest animal today! And those woolly mammoths? They were actually just a bit smaller than African elephants, but still bigger than Asian elephants. and about sabertooth tigers? People often think of them as these monstrous beasts with long fangs, but they were actually not as big as Siberian tigers. They were slightly smaller in size. So, next time you think of ancient beasts, remember, they weren't always giants!

That’s so ridiculous there is not enough space for them

[KingAlphaOmega]

While it's understandable to question certain scientific endeavors, it's important to recognize the value of their research and the potential benefits it could bring. Additionally, considering the implications of resurrecting extinct species on our current ecosystem is a valid concern that warrants careful consideration.

[tonyscott]

Palki's choice of words concerning mammoths... 'A very hairy situation'.... Yes. very apropos. 🙂

[mavanijj]

It’s against nature😌those who are gone gone and we will suffer more if we try to become that “which is “(source energy)

[deepaksahani]

I heard that it is not possible to bring the exact species back to life. Only some genetic characters will be similar to the extinct animal.

[armorkinggaming]

It looks like someone has collected all of the 7 dragon balls and *Shenron* 🐉 will be summoned.

😂😂😂

[Jiulize]

We don't care on ethical issues, bring back our Mammoth at whatever cost 😅

[Khan-mgbs]

NICE PLAY WITH WORDS TOWARDS THE END😊😊😊

[BABURAO]

SNL's Joke Swap is the most savage news presentation.
🇮🇳 Palki “ SAVAGE ” Sharma – Hold my beer.
“ ...the species went extinct again..” 😂
“ This is a hairy situation. ” 😂😂

[weeroger]

Was a study done about the black death using dna knowledge
Apparently the same gene associated with arthritis was a big marker in people who survived the black death
