Colossal Biosciences Revives Dire Wolves, Sparks Controversy

Colossal Biosciences has announced the de-extinction of the dire wolf, with three pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi born through genetic editing of gray wolves. This process involved extracting DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and editing gray wolf cells to create embryos, raising ethical concerns reminiscent of 'Jurassic Park'. The announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing excitement while others, including hosts of 'The View', voiced skepticism, questioning the necessity and safety of such scientific endeavors. The revived pups, still exhibiting wild behavior and significant size, currently reside in a secret ecological preserve, highlighting the challenges of integrating a genetically engineered species into the ecosystem. Colossal's ambitions extend beyond dire wolves, aiming to resurrect other extinct species like the woolly mammoth and dodo. As this venture progresses, it continues to ignite debate about the implications of playing God with nature.
