Bring them back to Life

“Bring them back to Life” does an excellent job of keeping my attention in the introduction. They article talks about bringing an extinct creature back to life. Right away this made me think of the scene from Jurassic Park when the blood is being drawn the mosquito in the amber and how they had breed dinosaurs back in existence. This idea of de-extinction seemed just like an idea from science fiction. I thought it was interesting that after reading the intro that they made the same reference to Jurassic Park that I had. The article makes strong points for de-extinction. Since humans did wipe out these animals by hunting them or destroying their habit we should help bring them back. The article kept my attention through this park since it kept me thinking and convincing me for this idea. The idea that a woolly mammoth could be brought back to life defiantly peaked my interest. It seems impossible but with advanced in technology we are seemingly right on the edge. I liked the reference to 1813 when the pigeons would blanket the sky. It’s really mind blowing to think that a species of such abundance was destroyed because of human hunting and human activity. The article does close on the more realistic note that even though we are close it is still years away. Also the question of would these animals be able to survive will come up over and over again. I liked this article. It made an idea that seems to come straight from science fiction as a possibility over the coming years.
