Science writer Emma Marris recently wrote an excellent post over at Last Word On Nothing that explores some of the ethical and technical implications of cloning extinct and near-extinct species. Her piece challenges us to re-evaluate our conceptions of conservation, and provides a thought-provoking look at how saving animals from the brink of extinction let alone resurrecting ones that have long since died out , while potentially awesome, could actually wind up being counterproductive. In 2000, the last Pyrenean ibex died. These were mountain goat-like mammals with fierce black horns that scampered around the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. Some cells had been taken from that last animal, and in 2009 the world learned that scientis stanley italia ts had been able to clone stanley cupe the creature: a Pyrenean ibex kid was born t stanley water bottle o a surrogate mother, a hybrid between Spanish ibex and a domestic goat. see the paper here. The kid was delivered by cesarean section. It opened its eyes, stuck out its tongue, moved its legs about, and promptly died of lung abnormalities. Not exactly a complete success, but a milestone nonetheless. The technique has been proved in practice and all that remains now is to work out the bugs. So, given that cloning extinct animals is feasible, should we do it After all, humankind is responsible for an appalling number of extinctions, many of them in prehistory. We annihilated the dodo in 1662 and then snuffed out the Steller sea cow in 1768, but it was Pxiy Today, July 1: io9/Lifehacker Meetups in San Francisco and Los Angeles
The Avengers assemble in their explosive Super Bowl spot. It an action-heavy trailer, one meant to show off the flying, punching juice of stanley cup our mightiest heroes.
