Extinction

A recent article has been posted of a 100 year old tortoise named Diego who is responsible for saving its species. The tortoises in Galapagos were almost in near extinction and this because the very few males that are on the island did not seem an interest to the females, which slowed down the population rate. The tortoise lives in a breeding center in Santa Cruz but is from a species called Chelnoidis Hoodensis, which is a species that that is only found in Espanola. Knowing the history of this

time by humans. Humans also can be the cause of extinction hunting, destroying an animal's home, pollution, and introduction of alien species are just a few ways that we can cause extinction of an animal. Extinction can also occur naturally when disease is spread, or an invasive species takes over. I believe that we should not bring back extinct creatures for three distinct reasons. De- extinction could hinder conservation efforts,de-extinction attempts have failed, and finally bringing back

De-extinction: a scientific breakthrough and a process in which humans can use genetic engineering to bring back a species that was once extinct. Despite how intriguing it is that humans can accomplish this, the act of using de-extinction to bring back different species can be detrimental to the environments that they are introduced into. Humans can control how they create and modify a species that they bring back from extinction, an example being which species they use to replicate another species

planet into the sixth mass extinction of life through rapid deforestation, pollution, over-population, and many other deadly reasons; if not enough effort is put towards stopping this massive extinction then the human race does not have much time left. With the mass extinction on the rise, there will not be any meat, eggs, cheese, and milk on the shelves but we may not been even around to take those products off of those shelves… To further understand the sixth extinction, it would make sense to get

outweigh the cons. De-extinction does this in certainty of different environmental and health benefits. De-extinction could provide help ”to preserve highly endangered species.”(Text 1, Line 26) The research of de-extinction would be able to help conserve small populations of species resulted from the practice of having to preserve a species to keep it from returning to extinction. This would than help to maintain present-day endangered species to maintain from extinction. In similar fashion, another

De-extinction, the revival of extinct species through cloning, has reasons for and against it. However, the Point argument supporting it was better because it explained how reviving these species would not only be beneficial in that area of studies, but in science and the world as a whole. There are many reasons stated for this, including the repairing of Earth and the expansion of human knowledge and capabilities. As stated in the Point argument, de-extinction is a way to undo what humans have

The Ethics of De-Extinction The concept of bringing a species back to life after it has gone extinct has been around for years. The idea that dinosaurs will roam the earth again has fascinated mankind since the first dinosaur fossils were first put together. Pop culture has even glorified this idea in a variety of books and movies made about the topic, such as the famous Jurassic Park trilogy. In science fiction, there are many ideas people have about brining the extinct back to life. Some of these

out. Extinction is important to evolution because it creates new species and new forms of life. Conditions change such as climate change, a new predator arrives and other geological effects that affect the way a certain individual species change and or die out due to not being able to adapt. Dinosaurs were dominant until they fell than Mammals begin to evolve and adapt. I do believe that mass extinction is happening today and if not today sometime soon due to humans. If mass extinction isn’t happening

This idea and theory is called de-extinction. Many believe it to be an amazing thing to possibly have, and millions more believe it to be a terrible idea. Those who believe this to be a bad idea are afraid of a possible “Jurassic Park” type of outcome where the species broke loose and killed people. Those who believe it’s the right thing that needs to be done believe it can help the world in many ways. Whether a world catastrophe would come from the de-extinction of many, or any species is in question

Five mass extinctions have occurred throughout the history of planet Earth. It is predicted by Author Elizabeth Kolbert, that a sixth extinction may be underway. The Sixth Extinction is a book in the viewpoint of Kolbert and narrates her travels around the globe while she studies numerous wildlife species. Kolbert claims that ¨Those of us alive today not only are witnessing one of the rarest events in life's history, we are also causing it,” (Kolbert, Page 8). Throughout her work, Kolbert claims
