Ethos Forum: De-Extinction - What could go wrong?
Event description
The idea of bringing back extinct species fascinates us, despite countless blockbuster movies telling us it's probably a bad idea...
In this Ethos Forum we tackle the scientific and societal impacts of de-extinction. When is a dire wolf not a dire wolf? How will currently endangered species conservation be affected? Will only cute or exciting species be revived - and who decides?
Join us as we discuss the ethics of de-extinction with help from Prof. Chris Daniels, Assoc. Prof. Jeremy Austin and more.
Free drinks and snacks provided.
Unfortunately, this event will no longer be Auslan interpreted.
