On a cold winter night in New York City, a Harvard professor and an environmentalist icon found themselves facing a challenging task. Standing on stage in a theater, they pondered how to persuade the audience, including 300 people at Hunter College's Kaye Playhouse, about the idea of bringing back extinct species such as Velociraptors or even a simple pigeon. However, the familiar theme song from "Jurassic Park" served as a reminder of the disastrous consequences that befell the characters in the popular 1993 film. Moderator John Donvan acknowledged the movie's cautionary message, but the professor, George Church, and the environmentalist, Stewart Brand, were determined to overcome those negative associations and make their case in the upcoming debate. Church, renowned for his involvement in launching the Human Genome Project, and Brand, the founder of the Whole Earth Catalog magazine, were well-prepared for an engaging discussion on the topic of de-extinction.
