Scientists are getting very close to bringing a few iconic species, like woolly mammoths and dodos, back from extinction. That may not be a good thing.

      They’ll be wearing stylish pool noodles on the tusks to minimize furniture and gonad damage.

      Or we create them with softer tusks. Maybe that’s better, the. They’ll also be worthless to poachers.

        I don’t want to live in a world that has wooly mammoths with floppy tusks. It just seems wrong.

          Of course it seems wrong when you say it like that.
