Several researchers who have been critical of Colossal Biosciences’ plans to revive extinct animals say they have been targeted by online articles trying to discredit them
I have a friend who works for this company (or some other company with the same goal, I dont remember). She says that the mammoth with help maintain the ecosystem’s native ground mosses (or something) to combat climate change.
I tried to point out to her that (1) that is a huuuuge stretch, (2) this sounds like a bunch of VCs just thought the idea was super cool and wanted to throw money at it because “duuuuude, dinosaurs!!!”, (3) this is the exact plot to jurassic park, and (4) eventually the VC will dry up and her company will sell their tech to the super-rich to genetically modify their offspring, creating a permanent genetic class heirarchy in humans.
And then she told me she didnt want to hang out with me anymore.
i read an article where they claimed that the mammoths would stamp the co2 into the ground, so it cant escape. lol. also they were hoping to make money with carbon credits

Had the same thought seems like a stepping stone to eventually create modified humans.
