Okay, I am picking up my *cough* mammoth thread from yesterday.

If you are interested in the story so far, I talked a bit about the current main justification given by Colossal for their plans for "mammoth de-extinction" here:



🧵/1
other justifications include the collateral benefits of:

🧬 biotech development
🧠 increased knowledge of mammoth & elephant biology
🐘 improved elephant husbandry & conservation
🦏 conservation of species on the brink of extinction
👩‍🔬inspiring the next generation of scientists
These are all quite hard to quantify (and each also raises a number of different ethical considerations), which makes the problem of ⚖️ harm and good tricky.

So I am cheating for now, and leaving these for later (if I still have the will to live).
