Answer the questions below Changing conditions put intense pressure on organisms-some of which become extinct. For example,of the original 62 species of honeycreeper found in Hawaii only 18 remain. Scientists have thetechnologies that may allow bringing back organisms that have become extinct. This brings up ethicalquestions about the cost/benefit of resurrecting extinct species and whether it is the right thing to do.Joseph Bennett, a professor of biology at Carleton University in Ontario, wanted to determine the cost ofresurrecting and maintaining an extinct species. Since the up-front cost of resurrecting an extinctspecies is very difficult to determine, the researchers decided instead to look at the cost ofreintroducing and protecting a resurrected organism in the wild. To accomplish this, the researchersconsidered 70 animals from New Zealand and 29 animals from New South Wales that went extinct withinthe last 1,000 years. From this list, they chose 11 New Zealand species and five NSW species that wererelatively similar in habitat and lifestyles to living species that are covered under current conservationplans. Their results indicated that the funds necessary to conserve the five NSW species would actuallybe enough to prevent 42 endangered species from becoming extinct.1. Should we try to prevent extinction of any species?2. Is it the right thing to resurrect extinct species?3. Cost/benefit wise why preventing is much more superior than resurrecting?

Extinction happens when a species' population declines due to environmental factors (habitat…
