Jurassic World? Bringing back extinct animals with Torill Kornfeldt

Take notes:


"The first time I heard about the research that you can bring back extinct species, I sort of felt my inner _________ standing up and shouting with happiness 'I'm going to see a mammoth'.
She thinks it's __________ that once-extinct species will one day again walk the earth or fly in the skies.
"I think there will be a lot of _______ whether these species actually are the species that went extinct or not, but I think that will be sort of a discussion on ________ and details.
She says bringing back extinct animals is a fairly old idea, and there were initially other methods of trying to do so. 
"There was actually a project in Europe in the '30s of trying to bring back aurochs by breeding - sort of backbreeding - and trying to find aurochs' original __________ out of today's cattle and get aurochs' features out of them.
"But the __________ of de-extinction is only a handful of years old and it comes from very recent development in genetic technology.
"The ability using a technology that is called crispr, which gives scientists the ability to change genetic material in a way that is a lot more exact and a lot cheaper and more effective that earlier really sort of opens up a ___________ of possibilities."
Dolly the sheep was cloned in ______, but the process is still flawed. 
"It's miraculous that we can do that and take a cell, any cell, and start an animal over with the help of that, but it's still a process that is very difficult, and you still have a very high ___________ among the embryos that are created in this way.
However, there is a chance it could act as a kind of conservation _________.
"I think that's the area where de-extinction has the greatest potential actually, is to be this extra conservation _____ ... that you can use when all other hope is lost.
"An example is the northern white rhino, which is a species where there is only two individuals left today alive, and they are both female and they cannot _________.
"There are frozen cells preserved of about 11 individuals of this species, so we could technically ______ them and restart the species using these frozen cells.
She says scientists' reasons for trying to revive extinct creatures are largely __________, she says, including extending to solving environmental problems.
"Most of the species that people are trying to recreate are species that play a larger role in their __________.
'"The researchers who work with this - I mean, you can agree or not agree with their aims but all of them are __________. All of them are people that really try to make the world a better place.
"All of them say that you should prioritise saving what we have because bringing something back, it will always be a sort of a bad _______, it will never be the same.
