Do you think it's ethical for them to be experimenting like this on extinct animals or live ones?
In order to see if the DNA worked they used a baby mouse, please click the link to see what I'm on about it's explained there quite clearly.
I'd like your opinions on this subject, please let me know what you think.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

On the whole I don't think that we should mess with nature. But I admit a part of me is fascinated by the whole concept. My fear is that once they start on animals, which of course they have, remember Dolly the Sheep?, then they will fiddle with humans. Don't even think of resurrecting me when I'm gone.

I am not too sure about the ethics of this whole study dorypanda and whether it is a good idea to play around with animals that are long extinct! I do however think it is a step towards preventing many endangered species from becoming extinct and that can only be a good thing surely? xxx
