Solving Extinction

[Big Paqo]

I was high one day and thought. If we have the power to create an exact Identical of a living organism. Why can't we clone extinct animals or endangered species. Has anyone ever thought of that or is there a big problem that im missing?

 

[The Duke of Earl]

the problem in that is if we made th exacted copy of a species they'd die off any way due to there all the same dna and proned to the same dieses that and the risk of inbreeding

Im talking about the ones that die off due to poaching.

Inbreeding yeah i understand that. But Im sure they can get four non related DNA samples.

 

[The Duke of Earl]

its would still be hard , becuz of only 4 after a few generations inbreeding would ocurr , even if they did die off or are endangerd take in example florida moutains lions have many health problems due to the fact that population is very very low and inbreeding is taking place. so the only way to save a speacies would to find a another very simliar related speacies and able to cross breed it with the cloned DNA and be able for them to produce off spring. some animals arent fertile when u cross breed them

Im sure they use it somehow already. You got a shit load of free money to save species and you have few choices, why not aid the process with clones and just not tell anyone.
