Synthetic Biology and its respective biologists are a very odd ilk; on one hand you have ecologists, marine/environmental biologists crying foul for Ocean temperatures increasing and polar bears being on the brink of a collective heat stroke as the polar caps are melting, and yet... a mega fauna from the Pleistocene (ice age) suited to live in only the most extreme of cold temperatures of that era is #1 on the list of things to do with this technology and resources?
Academia is seriously poisoning and perverting some of our greatest minds with this terrible headlong culture of being the first at 'something' to get social cachet and secure future funding. I've seen it first hand during my undergrad.
Did the situation arise where someone questioned the necessity, and the rather illogical nature of it all? I can just imagine a retort being something along the lines: finding funding to fit a new tailor made subzero cooling system at the LA and San Diego Zoo where they will be on display.
