De-Extinction Debate: Should scientists bring back extinct animals and plants?

Becca Horowitz
Becca Horowitz 26 days ago

Have you been following the debate over de-extinction—the idea of using biotechnology to bring back extinct species? It’s a fascinating (and controversial) topic that raises questions about science, ethics, and our relationship with the natural world.

What do you think about de-extinction?

Check out our blog Teaching de-extinction: Are we living in the next 'Jurassic Park' sequel?

The Re-creating Life lesson step from Big History is a great launchpad for student learning

If you joined the conversation with Beth Shapiro this evening, what are your ideas to bring this conversation into your classroom?

Would you bring the woolly mammoth, or any extinct species, back to life? How might your students debate that question?

    Last night's PD session was fantastic - thanks to Dr. Shapiro and the OER Project team! My classes have a bit more of a modern focus, but we are approaching the Columbian Exchange next week, so perhaps there's an opportunity to consider the pros and cons of biodiversity and de-extinction then? Suggestions are welcome!
