What if... we could bring extinct animals back to life? | What If

- Jurassic Park may have first put the idea of bringing dinosaurs back from the dead into people's heads, but the question of whether we can bring back more recently extinct species is still very much alive and kicking for scientists.
In the latest episode of WIRED's What If series, we look at the three techniques scientists are using today to potentially bring extinct animals back to life - breeding, cloning, and the use of CRISPR-cas9.

The production and attention to detail that goes into these videos, man, chefs kiss
We absolutely should bring back mammoths. By hunting them down to extinction (mainly because they never had the chance to evolve to be wary of our ancestors) we destroyed an entire ecosystem without knowing.
We should start with the Thylacine - Tasmanian tiger!!!

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...

I love the style of this video.
I would have thought the path forward was to sequence the animal's DNA, make a plausible individual's copy and have a machine generate the DNA molecule for cloning. All this talk of modifying an existing species DNA to look like an extinct one seems like a cop out and would probably end up being different in ways the scientists didn't anticipate.
Thank you very much for sharing such an interesting and informative work, WIRED ❤️
Tasmanian tiger, Moa, Dodo, Mamouth,... I really wanna see them in real life, even once
We should reverse extinction of things we drove to it
There are tribal people living in Siberia who believe woolly mammoths still exist, and some even claim to have seen them. So maybe they're not extinct after all.
Очень интересное видео, и очень познавательное.
Mind blowing...Thanks
Thanks for the video!
It would be nice to have more animals brought into this world but it's too risky and dangerous
Go CRISPR!!!
that's amazing
Bring back the woolly mammoth
I want to get a pet saber-tooth and name it chilli dog
To be fair, I think that’ll be his name for you.
Not if ....but when.
Well . . . we can't!
We should bring back fish.....
OMG, she reminds me of my math teacher in highschool
same!
@@The5thYard it would be funny if we're talking about the same XD
I mean dinosaurs are pretty cool but dangerous
I want to bring back unicorns
Make crispr extinct permanently
