Resumen
La de-extinción es una innovación biotecnológica emergente que ha experimentado un repentino aumento de la atención mediática y de la inversión, con implicaciones considerables para las poblaciones animales de todo tipo. Este artículo, tras ofrecer una visión general del discurso, la retórica y las ideas sobre la de-extinción, contextualiza esta innovación en las obras de Catia Faria, Sue Donaldson y Will Kymlicka. Dicha contextualización impulsa a la teoría animal a abordar la de-extinción con mayor profundidad, más allá del rechazo inmediato de la práctica. La de-extinción tiene graves implicaciones para las poblaciones animales que deben considerarse teóricamente, tanto para criticar la práctica como para comprender mejor la importancia del marco teórico en el contexto del actual "giro animal" en la teoría política.
