Test Tube Sharks
Scientists to breed 'test tube' sharks
By Meraiah Foley, Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia - Australian scientists will attempt to breed gray nurse sharks in artificial wombs under a plan to boost the critically endangered species' numbers, a state fisheries minister said Friday.
Embryos harvested from female sharks in the wild will be reared separately in artificial wombs designed to stop the ravenous fish from devouring each other before birth in what is known as "intrauterine cannibalism."

Sharks Tube Test
If this works for the sharks, this would be a great break through for saving species from extinction. Imagine if no species ever became extinct because scientists where able to artificially breed the species! Imagine what it could mean for a species like the galapagos turtle and the panda. Those two species have a hard time mating and their species are dwindling. On the other hand, what if some species are supposed to die out by means of natural selection?
