On a quest to revive the woolly mammoth, Colossal Biosciences has created a woolly mouse
The woolly mammoth revival project has taken a fascinating turn with Colossal Biosciences' recent breakthrough in genetically engineering mice with mammoth-like fur. Using CRISPR to edit mouse embryos, scientists have successfully created a "woolly" mouse. While this achievement may seem like a novelty, it raises concerns about the company's strategy and the potential consequences of tampering with nature.The scientific community is left wondering about the long-term implications of such efforts. The project's proponents must consider the moral and societal aspects of de-extinction, including the potential impact on ecosystems and human societies.Experts are urging caution as Colossal Biosciences pushes forward with its ambitious goal.
