1. Brad Bushman:

   It's troubling to me that the perpetrators of the violent acts are the good guys, because that communicates the idea that aggression is justifiable as long as it's committed by a good guy, we are more likely to imitate violence that is by attractive perpetrators who are justified for what they do, so superhero violence is kind of a really good recipe for that.

   To me the real benefit of any de-extinction project such as this is the awesomeness of it. Doing it seems very justified to me simply because it will excite people about science, nature, conservation, and we sure as hell need that in the wonderful citizens of our world if we are to survive into the future. But... do the stakeholders realize what they will get will not be the thylacine but some imperfect hybrid ? What we don't need is yet more people disappointed( or) feeling cheated by science.

5. National Academy of Medicine:
