should the Dodo be brought back from extinction?

No. I'm not a fan of messing with stuff like that. Besides, you saw what happened when they brought Dinosaurs back in Jurassic Park, right? I know Dodos aren't dangerous, still genes could mutate!

The people who said "no" raised some good points, but overlooked one extremely important fact. The dodo did not become extinct through natural selection; it was hunted to extinction by humans. That doesn't mean it was unfit for survival or had outlived its usefulness; it means that some people are stupid and don't know when to quit hunting an endangered species. Bringing back the dodo would not create an ecological imbalance. It would refill the void created when it was wiped out.

There's a type of tree living on their island that hasn't sprouted ever since the Dodos went extinct, since they were needed to eat the tough seeds first to help them germinate, so it could be a good idea to bring them back if it were possible.

Short answer, no.

The world we live in right now is different from when the dodo was alive, which means different selective pressures will exist, so who knows if they'd even be able to survive if brought back.

The only animals that should be reintroduced, or even brought back, are keystone species because their absence can destroy an ecosystem (much like what nearly happened in Yellowstone).

No. It would be the equivalent of introducing a non-native species. The flora and fauna alive today has evolved to exclude the dodo; whatever ecosystem it was introduced into would be messed up.

heck no! They're gone for a reason! Those would just look at the people and go "dodo?" and get bonked on the head!

I shouldn't think so it'll be history being repeated and they would be killed for food as a addition to chickens and turkeys.

yargen dodos sound amazing and everyone would be realy interested!!! wat do you think?

hahaha, stupid birds!

NO...won't...CAN'T!

Silly sci-fi is NOT "exciting".
