The Dawn of DeExtinction

I had dinner with Stewart Brand after this TED talk, a prelude to the full day conference this Friday.

“We will get woolly mammoths back.”

“Biotech is about to liberate conservation.”

“Mike’s doing miracles with birds… That chicken will have the gonads of a falcon. You get a male and female chicken, and out of them come falcons. Real falcons out of slightly doctored chickens.”

Stewart’s TED Talk went online today: http://www.ted.com/talks/stewart_brand_the_dawn_of_de_extinction_are_you_ready.html
