Though this technique has its limitations, it can recreate some traits of an extinct species, but the genome will differ from the original species. Studies show that cloning is a feasible de-extinction approach for living species close to extinction because the resulting organism is identical. While the resurrection of these extinct species becomes a reality by the day, questions are being raised on the cutting-edge science, ethical dilemmas, and ecological repercussions that surround this ambitious quest to bring back species long thought lost to the sands of time.
