From the Article: "A Stealthy De-Extinction Startup
By reviving lost species, a new company could put a warm and fuzzy face on advanced reproductive engineering." and:
"But here’s the deal: the very same biotechnologies needed to reanimate lost species are going to have far, far greater financial and social impact when they’re applied to commercial breeding of livestock, pets, and even humans."
As I've said before, if human's can dream it, somebody's going to do it and ethics be damned. This has the potential to stop natural extinction-evolution. This could very well put the human race into two species, the normals and the enhanced, maybe a third - the resurrected. How we think about ourselves the world around us, religion, ethics, progress - all of those conceptual type of things is going to have take a giant leap. Objectivistly, I like it.

I heard the tail end of a news report that said parents can now have designer babies. Pick the sex, eye and hair color etc. etc.
