Cоnsider the fоllоwing аrgument аnd its mаp. Today, we are on the technological verge being able to resurrect extinct species by cloning their DNA. The excitement is palpable. Many individuals thrill at the prospect of so-called ‘de-extinction.’ But is de-extinction as prudent as it is sensational? Putting aside our dreams of taking selfies with a tyrannosaurus, should we resurrect these animals? Let’s think about it carefully. 2 The technology behind de-extinction is extraordinarily expensive so 3 bringing back extinct species would reduce the funding available for other conservation efforts. Obviously, 4 if bringing back extinct species reduces the funding available for other conservation efforts then it’s a bad idea. Furthermore, 5 species introduced into a non-native environment can harm the ecosystem and 6 any resurrected species would be introduced into a non-native environment because 7 the species’ habitat will have substantially altered in the years since that species’ extinction. And finally, 8 resurrecting extinct species could encourage us to take extinction less seriously which means that 9 it might make us less inclined to protect currently endangered animals. Consequently, despite its attractions, 1 bringing back extinct species is a bad idea.” MC 4.4a.pngPremise 4 says “If bringing back extinct species reduces the funding available for other conservation efforts then it’s a bad idea.” Which of the following objections, if true, would show this claim to be false?
