Via Business Insider:
at a National Geographic sponsored TEDx conference, scientists met in Washington, D.C. to discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. They also discussed the how, why, and ethics of doing so.
They called it "de-extinction."
There are a few guidelines for which ancient species are considered, and sadly, dinosaurs are so long dead they aren't in the picture. Their DNA has long ago degraded, so researchers are fairly sure that Jurassic Park will never happen.
Because I can’t think of anything more fun than meeting a sabretooth tiger on the hiking trail.
Notice the list – pretty much cute, seemingly harmless animals.
