  • Colossal Biosciences, which aims to revive extinct species, has raised an additional $200 million. Critics say de-extinction in its purest sense isn't possible.

The article from MSN discusses the burgeoning field of "resurrection science," where scientists are attempting to bring back extinct species through advanced genetic technologies. Key points include the ongoing efforts to revive species like the woolly mammoth, passenger pigeon, and the gastric-brooding frog. Despite significant advancements, such as the successful cloning of a Pyrenean ibex in 2003 (which died shortly after birth), the process remains fraught with challenges. These include not only the technical difficulties in gene editing and cloning but also ethical considerations about altering ecosystems and the potential for unintended consequences. The article highlights the work of organizations like Revive & Restore, which are pushing the boundaries of de-extinction, yet it also notes skepticism from some scientists who question the feasibility and wisdom of these endeavors. The narrative underscores a blend of excitement and caution in the scientific community regarding the potential to reverse extinction.
