Not to mention rejection/loss of their mothers.

So here are some hybrid elephant/mammoths (because take modern elephant egg and replace parts if it with edited dna, keeping most of the modern cell) ; who probably will experience constant pain and unhealthy feelings due to the editing; having life long psychological issues - with no real place to live except in a nature preserve.

The first viable generation will probably be so messed up they need humans to raise the second generation; and the future generations will probably not feel healthy.
