Pathways to de‐extinction: how close can we get to resurrection of an extinct species?

2017-05-01

Abstract excerpt

De‐extinction, the idea that extinct species might soon be resurrected, receives considerable attention in both popular and scientific literature, in particular with regard to its potential ecological and ethical consequences. Here, I review the three main pathways that are being considered at present for de‐extinction: back‐breeding, cloning via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and genetic engineering. I pres...
