MikeFOne of capitalist science -- and genetic determinism's -- more repugnant efforts, an effort to come up with a technofix for extinction... I'm not an "animal rights" proponent, but I am an ecologist that grasps that our current ecological crises start with our commodification of the natural world, our alienation from the necessary roots of our material existence and our anthropocentric assumption that the natural world exists for us -- "us" actually meaning the 1%, in practical terms, but promoted as a society-encompassing ideology. This should be no more permitted than genetic engineering on humans. And what of the chimera they are creating? Living elephants, like all existing organisms are the results of eons of natural selection and specific ecological interactions. What are the ecological, physiological, social and psychological ramifications for the elephants they are genetically distorting? And keep in mind that elephants are intelligent, social organisms. And in what ways will ruling class funders use this to downplay the extinction crisis they are causing? --- Will these reprogrammed elephant cells ever make a mammoth?<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00670-z" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00670-z</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/geneticdeterminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geneticdeterminism</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/geneticengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geneticengineering</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extinction</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://birds.town/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biology</a>

Sally Strange"On December 8th, the American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) made a shocking announcement that it was withdrawing support for several pending regulatory petitions that authorize the distribution of the controversial transgenic American chestnut tree, called Darling 58, outside permitted research plots due to “significant performance limitations.”"...TACF cited performance limitations for all Darling progeny, which included lack of blight resistance, unexplained high mortality rates, and poor growth."Looks like the skeptics of genetics engineering were, once again, mostly correct in their critiques. <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ChestnutTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChestnutTrees</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ecology</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GeneticEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GeneticEngineering</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ReWilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReWilding</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climate</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Extinction</a> <a href="https://globaljusticeecology.org/ge-chestnut-loses-backers/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://globaljusticeecology.org/ge-chestnut-loses-backers/</a>
