Freezing Animals DNA

Some mad scientist is freezing the DNA of animals facing extinction such as tigers. It's called cryptogenics I think. They have stored the DNA of over 80 endangered species so that they can play god at a later date. This activity should be closely monitored and regulated. How many of these creatures are poisonous and how many are dangerous. It's all over the news. Animals become extinct for a reason...

I think the point is that we are entering a mass extinction event caused by humans. But frankly I think its all a bit premature as I doubt humans will survive, at least I hope that we dont.

True, and some consider that we're in a mass extinction event already. Koalas were put on the "at risk" list and based on current projects will be extinct by 2050.

DNA vaults have been around for a while, and are similar to the various seed vaults dotted around the world. I don't see a problem myself.

As human population growth will outstrip the available planetary resources, we're gonna have to find an alternative planet or means of off world living, so these samples might come in useful.

That all assumes that we don't get wiped out by a meteor or some other external and unknown event.

It's a fact that over 99.5 % of all animals and insects that ever lived on this planet are extinct.

That seems awfully optimistic that we wont wipe ourselves out first.

"That seems awfully optimistic that we wont wipe ourselves out first. "

As you suggest we might wipe ourselves out. Let's assume we don't (big assumption I know). The earth is 4.5(ish) billion years old. The sun is projected to die out in another 6(ish) billion years.

On that basis, if we're still living on planet earth in 6 billion years we'll need to find a new home regardless.

I don't know when space colonisation will begin. Perhaps in another 10,000 to 50,000 years it will become available to everyone?

I think we'll be around for a long while yet. Or long enough for technology and humans to emerge & evolve.

The usual caveats apply i.e. natural disasters or engineered events (viruses, wars or something else) doesn't end humanity first.

When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: Global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one of two ways this can go: The host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way...

The virus dies.

I believe the earth is currently in a greenhouse age or what would be considered a warmer age. As you know this is a natural cycle of the ages. And an ice age is due. I don't know the precise timings but it can be Googled.

That said, human consumption levels is certainly impacting the warming (and other elements) based on my understanding of the current scientific evidence.

Out of interest, what criteria are you using as the basis of your cull?

Everyone chillax.. the planet only needs to last a few more decades and my part in it's downfall is ended. There will not be one fab member alive in 100 years or so so why worry..

And if those crysogenetic mad bad science types want to bring me back from my DNA then they will awaken one angry motherfucker.. leave me be..

At rest, 6 ft under as I like it....

Its brilliant they are. Science is a area i work within all be it not biological but its 'science' if the finds dont support keeping animals alive close to extinction i fully support saving it for when those means are found.

Pretty much evey animal/insect is needed for our very existance (especially insects) so yes great freeze that dna.

Just look at the advances in 'ivf' without those advances many wouldnt beable to have children... just 30/40 years ago that was never a thing. No its miraculous but thats to sciaence it is.

... dinosaurs christ ive seen it all now. This isnt bringing back bloody dinosaurs its learning the molecular make up in reverse dna engineering, to learn to keep alive alive bees and other animals & insects critical to our existance which we are distroying.

I honestly cant believe you would actually think theyre going to bring dinosaurs back

No theyre dangerous when fucked with. In their own environment they arnt, you fuck with them you are. This tiger is a critical part of ecosystems and cultures, These ecosystems supply both nature and people with fresh water, food, and health. Securing tiger landscapes could help protect at least nine major watersheds, which regulate and provide freshwater for over 800 million people in Asia.. the bigger picture. Everything has a place in our ecosystem, or ecosystem needs advance in science to survive

You live in essex so wont need too.

Leave them be and theres no need too, Human intervention into a wild animals world is only going to end one way, slow extinction of said animal or death/injury towards the human.

Scientific advances are critical to the world we as humans have been ruining for many years, a understanding of life & molecular make up is absolutely needed for our very survival. Unfortunately humans persist on destroying our amazing world and its species

There are only a handful left in the wild and have little influence that you claim apart from villages on the edge of the jungle being safer
