"Which extinct animals to bring back?" Topic

It's called "de-extinction," the act of bringing an extinct animal back to life by reassembling its genome and injecting it into embryonic cells. After that, it's the simple matter of finding a surrogate. Last week, scientists met to discuss which animals should be up for consideration. We've highlighted 17 of their 24 final choices…

The problem that I see is that you will only be bringing them back as a trophy. Are you going to breed them? Then you have to bring back enough so they will not be inbred.
That's a hell of a lot of woolly mammoths! Imagine the cost of assembling enough DNA from different sources to bring back 30 of them! Or however many you need to insure breeding diversity.
If the object is to just being them back so you can shoot them and mount their head on the wall, this is of course not a problem.

Imagine the ethical dilemma of de-extincting a Neanderthal Man. Keep him in a museum? Send him out to get a job selling insurance? And what if he or she is sterile and cannot breed? I would sure be ed off.

Since the world is awash in disposable money for projects like this, I obviously want the woolly mammoth brought back. Saber-toothed tigers too, if they are on the list.

I'd like to see the Do-do brought back. Can you imagine the size of the drum sticks!

You could have so many different things. Do-do pot pie, chicken fried do-do, do-do fried rice, do-do sandwich, do-do salad, buffalo do-do wings, caesar do-do salad, teriyaki-sesame do-do wraps, do-do panini, do-do soft tacos, do-do lasagna, do-do fajitas, do-do and brocoli stir fry, do-do egg foo young, do-do artichoke casserole, creamy do-do asparagus bow ties, do-do and brocoli quiche, white do-do chili, do-do curry, Italian do-do and peppers, Do-do-Fil-A, do-do and chips, do-do noodle soup, Cheesy do-do enchiladas, Lentil, sweet potato and do-do curried, Confetti do-do and couscous, do-do supreme, do-do a la king and on and on.

Never mind all the things you could make out of the eggs.

Think of the omelettes alone!

I see a Kickstarter in the future…

Kentucky Fried Do-do? I'll contribute.

Tastes like chicken.

I think thats why the Dodo became extinct in the first place

Enchodus please.

Passenger pigeons. I hear they were delicious.

Moas. I hear they were delicious.

Mammoths. I hear they were delicious.

Pteridactyls. Need I say more?

Just make sure the list only contains things that can eat us. That way we'll know it was an awesome idea.

The recently extinct Chocodile (Theobromasuchus hostess)?

On the dodo bird – there's a species of tree on the island of Mauritius that will apparently only germinate if its seeds have passed through the digestive system of a dodo. There are some *very* old trees waiting patiently for their return.

That chicken I had two weeks ago, I'd love to eat it again a few times.

Raptors for my yard ! Keep the door to door critters away !

My vote is for the Dodo. Give them a chance for a little payback against the human race.

T-Rex! T-Rex! T-Rex!

Be careful about what you wish for…

Tai-Kwon-Do-dos! Attack!

The woolly mammoth is something I would love to see come back.

Giant ground sloth.
Why?
Why not?

I'd vote for wooly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger.

I understand that the chap who inspired Jurrasic Park is looking to de-evolve chickens back to their raptor roots.

I'l love one as a pet!

The Elephant Bird, for reasons including:It's extinction was caused by humans, it allegedly tastes delicious, it could be returned to its native Madagascar to see the effects of returning an extinct species to its former habitat, and they might actually make viable livestock for ranchers and farmers.

These current pop tarts need to be reminded of what is going to happen to them.

We should bring them back in descending order of deliciousness.
