Patents, De-Extinction and Species Return

Hello,

In the past few decades, dozens of scientific projects have investigated the possibility of resurrecting extinct species through cloning, genetic engineering, and ‘breeding back’ programs (e.g., Heath hen, Passenger pigeon, Thylacine, Pyrenean ibex). Significantly, related scientific techniques are also being earmarked for species that are currently critically endangered and close to extinction (e.g., genetic rescue of the Black-footed Ferret; Pink pigeon; Florida panther). We have entered a strange period of uncertainty in our relationships with other life-forms: while the IUCN ‘Red List of Threatened Species’ paints a dismal picture of catastrophic species loss, the team leading a project to de-extinct the Woolly mammoth estimates that it is just two years away from creating a hybrid mammoth-elephant embryo (Devlin, 2017).
De-extinction is at the frontier of genetics and biotechnology, and will inevitably test the flexibility of patent law and practice. Has the EPO considered whether de-extinct species will qualify as patentable subject matter?

Any help will be apprecited.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
