#39: Biodiversity
This is a extreme conservationist idea. I've looked at it with skepticism many times before.
The idea is to link endangered species DNA with the human DNA. I mean litterally bloat human DNA with inactivated sequencies of wildlife DNA, in order to ensure that they are are passed to future generations and not lost.
A sufficient number of voluntary individuals would be used for this.
I know so little about Genetics that I don't even know if this is actually possible. But the idea happened somehow, anyway.
