Results: Could scientists resurrect the extinct Tasmanian tiger? New breakthrough raises hopes

It may sound like a plot right out of a Jurassic Park movie, but the implications of the study are no mere fiction: Scientists are now one step closer to reviving not only the Tasmanian tiger, but perhaps other extinct species in the future. Do you believe that using genetic technology to potentially resurrect extinct species is a worthwhile endeavor?

This is not the first time that scientists have expressed hope that the Tasmanian tiger and other species once thought lost forever could be resurrected. In 2021, Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences launched with the express purpose of using gene editing to resurrect none other than the famed woolly mammoth and the dodo bird. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Shantou University in China also revealed plans last year to resurrect a smaller mammal, the Christmas Island rat. Are there any species you would live to see revived? Comment below what!
