If bringing back extinct species was the stuff of sci-fi novels and movie sets, then most people would just take it as that—just fiction. Today, scientists have claimed to have successfully “cracked the code” in “resurrecting” extinct species, such as the Siberian woolly mammoth, which begs the question—have ethical ideals been fully considered?
On March 11, scientists from Kindai University in Osaka, Japan, published their findings after they elicited “biological activity” from the cells of a 28,000-year-old woolly mammoth.
