My point is the funds should be used for something contructive, not uniting some geek with his child hood dream of petting a furry elephant.
If you wish to line the pockets of tyrants with money, do so with your money, and not with mine.
To bring that which is lost is not only contructive, but grand. It is important for two reasons.
One, it let’s scientists learn and create new techniques in genetic manipulation and engineering in mammals without getting into ethical issues because it is not experimentation humans, but animals instead.
The medical applications in such research is already bearing fruit in geneslicing to treat and cure some hereditary diseases and some types of cancers like leukemia.
Two, it will give a deathblow to the environmental movement because “extinction” will no longer mean permanently lost.

knowledge is a funny thing in that it has the ability to be a force multiplier.
Knowing about the similarities/differences in the genetic make-up of various critters gives a ton of insight as to how the Maker put all this together.
At some point we might prosper from this knowledge so that we might again throw a bunch of money down the hole called Mogadishu.
