The technology being developed to bring back an extinct species could be used to ensure extinction is no longer a possibility.
I really think you missed my point. And if not, please explain how it can undo all the damage that causes current extinctions
I do acknowledge that the planet is fucked and making a wooly mammoth will not in any way address the root causes of that. The point I'm making is that if this is developed and perfected there is hope for a path back to biodiversity as long as humans get their shit together and unfuck the planet.
I know that the glass is way beyond half empty, I have to remember that there is a little water left or else all I'm left with is despair
I feel you my friend...
