Should We Bring Extinct Species Back to Life?
This documentary follows scientists attempting to bring lost species back to life, including efforts to recreate the woolly mammoth using ancient DNA and gene-editing tools. It explains how researchers read genetic material from long-dead animals and what it would take to return them to a changed world. Alongside the extraordinary science, it weighs the ethical questions of de-extinction and whether it should be attempted at all. Thoughtful and forward-looking, it makes cutting-edge biology accessible. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
