Just because you can, does not mean you should.

[Jims5543]

Or a better quote from the Movie Jurassic Park:

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should."

This is some crazy stuff here, and all I can see coming from this is nothing good. There is sometimes a good reason a species went extict.

What is the end game here, repopulate Dire Wolf's into the wild?  I know that is not the end game, I am just wondering what they plan to do now that they re-created an extinct species. Study them, then what?


Fun quote at the end of the article:

"I think of that famous Teddy Roosevelt quote," says James, paraphrasing the 26th President. "In the moment of any choice, the first thing to do is the right thing. The next thing to do is the wrong thing. The worst thing to do is nothing at all."
