"Reviving Extinct Species: The Moral and Scientific Possibilities"

Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal Biosciences, discusses the possibility of bringing back the woolly mammoth and other extinct species through de-extinction to preserve biodiversity. He emphasizes the importance of building technologies to save critically endangered species and the ongoing ethical debate around de-extinction. The process involves using computational analysis, gene targeting, and enhancement to rebuild extinct species for thriving today, with the aim of restoring ecosystems and preventing further loss of biodiversity.
