Cloning Mammoths, Cultivating Organs + Giant Beavers

Cloning Mammoths, Cultivating Organs + Giant Beavers

Jason and Peter heard that a biotech company claimed that the long-deceased woolly mammoth will be brought back from extinction by 2027…Really, no really! Are we on the cusp of a real-life Jurassic Park? With new technology available to de-extinct long dead animals, potentially change the genetic code of human babies and the possibility of creating synthetic life, we needed to get some clarity. We had to find and talk to the man leading the science…and that man is Dr. George Church, known as the "father of synthetic biology. He is the Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences & Technology at Harvard and MIT. In 2021 Dr. Church and entrepreneur Ben Lamm founded Colossal Biosciences, a synthetic biology company tasked in part with sequencing the remains of woolly mammoths which would allow them, in theory to “de-extinct” the ancient creatures. In this episode: How do you de-extinct a woolly mammoth? The dangers lurking beneath melting permafrost. Redefining death. Creating human organs inside pigs. Bringing back those cryogenically frozen. Cold resistant Asian Elephants. Cultured meat and mammoth meatballs The dodo & Tasmanian tiger are coming back too?
