This webinar explores how and why genetic technologies might be used to eradicate some species and recreate others, with a focus on recent efforts and near future possibilities. The ethics of manipulating other species in these ways will then be considered: How should risks and benefits be understood and weighed? How might both deextinction and deliberate extinction challenge and alter understandings of the human relationship to nature?
