Join our January #ELSIFridayForum: how genetic embryo selection is being shaped by commercial incentives, regulatory gaps, and shifting cultural expectations of parenthood.

January 9th, 2026; 12pm ET/9am PT

Advances in genetic science have equipped us with powerful tools both to deliberately eliminate certain species (such as harmful screwworms) and to attempt the restoration of extinct ones (such as the mammoth). These capabilities, however, cannot be exercised lightly.

#ELSIFridayForum RECAP: last December, we examined the ethical, ecological, and governance questions raised by emerging biotechnologies that can either eliminate species deliberately or attempt to restore extinct ones.

From the dire wolf to the screwworm, scientists are turning the tools of genetics to the elimination–and recreation–of entire nonhuman species. This webinar explores how and why genetic technologies might be used to eradicate some species and recreate others.

Due to a personal emergency, our original speaker Gregory Kaebnick could not attend. The new speaker, James Collins, will join us and share his insight on the issue of deliberate extinction.
