Re: [DIYbio] Your opinion on reviving extinct species

I get the T.rex answer a lot :)

However we won't probably be ever able to get T.rex DNA in sufficiently high amount and quality.

Please use this survey page to compile your thoughts and answers (this is anonymous):
I'll be sharing all the raw data of the survey on this list after the conference has happened, which will be on the 11th of April.

Spoiler:
According to this survey we almost get half people welcoming such initiative and being ready to buy and pet a member of a de-extinct species (i.e. a Dodo) !

Hello guys,

I need your assistance. I have been invited to give a talk in a big conference in Cambridge (UK) as a representative of young professionals ;) on how Synthetic Biology and Conservation can be linked together to save or improve the biodiversity on our planet. I'd be very interested in your opinion on the following questions:

- if you were to revive one single species, which one should it be?
- would you welcome such initiative or condemn it?
- what application or abuse can you imagine of such a technology?

I have compiled those questions and more in this web interface. Don't hesitate to use it and share it.

Thanks a lot!!

The conference is organized by the Wildlife Conservation Society. You can find a description of it on this link:
