    Not Able To Be Undone or Altered

    Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, has died at age 45, leaving the subspecies on the brink of extinction as the only hope is in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Rhinos were rarely preyed on but were heavily poached for their horns for Chinese medicine, nearly wiping them out. While attempts have been made to reverse extinction, like cloning a bucardo goat that died shortly after birth, preventing extinction of this rhino subspecies through emerging technologies is crucial due to the cruelty of poaching for profit.

    “Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, has died in Kenya at the age of 45” this means

    that
    now, only science can prevent the extinction of this rhino subspecies. Now, the only way to keep the
    subspecies alive is to see if the in vitro fertilization will advance enough to preserve the subspecies. Rhinos
    had few predators due to their size, but the rhino horn is demanded for Chinese medicine, causing the
    rhinos to be largely wiped out.

    Last male northern white rhino dead. This is a depressing thing, since extinction – at least with
    the current technology – is not able to be undone or altered. For example: In 2003, a group of scientists
    brought a wild goat known as the bucardo, or Pyrenean ibex, from extinction. However, the new born
    goat died after ten minutes, and this is already the closest attempt that anyone had gotten to true de-
    extinction. I am also angry and shocked by the by the poachers’ cruelty and by how cold blooded they are.
    How could anyone possibly be cruel enough to wipe out these amazing animals just for money? Even a
    person with intense and selfish desire for money like me couldn’t bear to kill any of them. I truly hope
    that science can prevent the extinction of this subspecies, because it is the worst possible thing that could
    happen to any species.
