I’m not stating that Nature fears anything. I’m simply stating that there’s more to it than that, in the short-term mentally this generation is different from the last. Genes take longer to spread.
Actually Nature is so resilient I wouldn’t be surprised that it will crop back up even if we do stomp it out… which I doubt, the treehuggers will make sure of that.
Over all, you seem to mis-underestimate the hardiness of some creatures. Mice, rats, etc are so successful because of the amount of young per litter. All critters will eventually adapt to their new surroundings, it’s a matter of time. Rattle Snakes are doing that now actually, some of them have stopped using their rattle and just strike now. Ftw; I’m all for saving the environment and renewable resources, I’m simply stating a point.
Cloned animals, some of them you won’t want in the environment… in fact some of them you don’t want to at all outside of a controlled container. They’ll throw off the ecosystem in the area they’re in. Invasive species are a case of that. Look up the Snakehead fish in America.
Introducing new and extinct species that haven’t been around for hundreds or even thousands of years will throw it out of whack, and could re-introduce a new disease that was in the DNA sequence (however unlikely) for instance that will have a devastating effect on the environment they’re in.
I’m all for disease research, but look at the bigger picture.
Edit: I just realized that I just said what I said the last time…
In short; Those animals haven’t been around for hundreds or even thousands of years, introducing new animals will throw that balance out of whack and destroy the native ecosystem, but creating a totally new one. That’s going on in several places around the world even as we speak.
Agreed. There was actually a pygmy mammoth and elephant, but they went extinct a couple hundred years ago.
