Actually, it's a good way practicing how to restore those as well. There's less at stake with already extinct species. We've wiped out plenty of species already and we probably have a growing amount of DNA to play with. I take it as a given that there will be a lot more species disappearing over the next decades. So, any early successes with this will be helpful. Once we clean up the planet in a few centuries, we'll be able to restore ecosystems this way potentially. A key thing for that is figuring out how to get genetic diversity to avoid inbreeding becoming a thing.

At a minimum, maybe it’s shit timing to resurrect an animal better for colder weather.

The existing species are lame compared to wooly mammoths and giant centipedes.

This person has the feck of 20 people, lol.

Or par for the course. It's easier to create something than to stop creating something once it has become a thing.
