   De-extinction efforts are technically challenging, as some animals, like dinosaurs, have been extinct for too long for their DNA to be viable.

   De-extinction using genetic engineering has several ethical issues. Worse, if successful, it can significantly impact global biodiversity, leading to more problems.

   This has been done! Spanish scientists brought back to life an extinct wild goat. Sadly, the cloned animal did not survive.
