The resurgence of extinct species has long been a tantalizing dream for scientists and the general public alike. The Neon Corporation, a global leader in biotechnology and genetic engineering, has turned this dream into reality by successfully reviving the woolly mammoth, an iconic creature of the Pleistocene epoch. This monumental achievement not only showcases the corporation's cutting-edge capabilities but also opens up a plethora of possibilities for ecological restoration and genetic research.
Surrogate Mothers: Asian Elephants and Artificial Wombs
One of the most challenging aspects of the project was finding suitable surrogate mothers for the mammoth embryos. Asian elephants were chosen for their genetic compatibility and physiological similarities to woolly mammoths. However, the ethical and logistical complexities of using live surrogates led to the development of artificial wombs. These bioreactors simulated the elephantine gestational environment, providing the optimal conditions for embryo development.
