Resurrecting the Woolly Mammoth: Science and Ethics
This chapter explores the creation of genetically engineered 'woolly mice' that mimic traits of the extinct woolly mammoth, aiming to eventually revive the species. It discusses the scientific advancements in genetic engineering, the ethical implications surrounding de-extinction, and the debate over resource allocation for conservation. The conversation humorously begins with dodos, setting a light tone before transitioning to serious updates in technology and genetics.
