"Scientists say they can revive the extinct thylacine, commonly known as the
Tasmanian tiger, within a decade, but does anybody want them to?

There is a plan to edit the genome of a related species — the dunnart — to
resemble the thylacine's DNA, then use another relative as a surrogate to
gestate the reincarnated baby thylacines.

The ABC asked its audience whether they were in favour of the resurrection,
against it, or on the fence. It also asked what questions people had for
experts.

This is what you thought"
