There’s only 2 problems with bringing back the dinosaurs.
One, successfully assembling the genetic code (see the book The Lost World [AFTER reading the first one!!!]).
Two, they will never be free.
No matter how much I want a Jurassic Park, I say it shouldn’t happen. Why? Simply because keeping animals in captivity is wrong.

What about eating them?

Most probably dinosaurs would taste like chicken. Because dinosaurs is chicken's ancestor

If dinosaurs really taste like chicken then we will farm them!Why to farm 1000 chicken when you can have 1 dino......hahaha

Jurrassic Park was actually a pretty good book from what I remember (even though I read it as a kid). I'll need to read the follow up.

Maybe he was making a comparison about it being wrong to keep animals in captivity but not to eat them?

What load of BS? Sometimes, keeping animals in captivity is necessary to save them from extinction. Check the case of Siberian tigers. There are only around 100 of them out there in the wild. However, the captive population number around 4,000. If not for the gene pool inputs from the captive population, the tigers might have died out long ago in the wild.

The number 2 problem wouldn't be a problem to them because they obviously not think it as problem. Heck they will even clone the neanderthal. Those kind of morality is not on those scientist.

Check this, pretty interesting:

14 extinct animals that could be resurrected

http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/photos/14-extinct-animals-that-could-be-resurrected/fit-to-be-cloned

Quote

To successfully clone an extinct animal, scientists need to find animal DNA that is almost entirely intact, so some species will make better candidates for resurrection than others. For instance, recently extinct animals that have been preserved in museums make good candidates, as do ancient animals that were preserved in permafrost during the last ice age.

I think it might be possible but it needs many billions and crazy scientists with no obvious gain.

Technically chickens and birds are dinosaurs. Many of its genes is turn off and many is turn on. With a lot testing finding the right combination. We can possibly create a dinosaur like animal but not 100% dinosaur that roam many million years ago.

Well I'm more interessted in the shit we can find in the vostok lake as it is sealed for millions of years now and it might have a whole different set of creatures

May be we can have the next best thing which is to create a highly detailed 3d jurassic environment that we can walk into wearing head monitors. We have a much higher chance of achieving this than acquiring dino DNA.

Some of the Russian scientists tried to recreate Mammoths from the frozen corpses found in Siberia. But they failed in their attempt, as the Mammoth DNA was damaged beyond repair. So I believe that while something like this might be theoretically possible, it will be almost impossible practically.

That's what I'm saying, even we can't even manage to do such thing with species that went extinct a couple of thousands of years ago (the Mamoth is one of those) how are you expecting to do such a thing for something that went extinct hundreds of million years ago

There are planets with dinosaurs that we are able to visit. All you must do is believe.

Statistically speaking, it might be possible, but we cannot visit such planet, not even in the next Millennium if we survive our own self destruction

i want to "visit" mars. for a period of 2 days. i don't want to STAY there. is this possible Branson? Huh

10 months to get to mars, by the that time the earth should on the other side of the sun, and now way for you to get back ^^ so you have to spend some quality time there about a year and a half before thinking of heading back ^^

Dinosaurs really?? BAD BAD IDEA… not that i think it will work, but if it did.. Did they learn anything from the movies??Can not be controlled…. but well.. that will be the end of the world.. Apocalypse by dinosaur. lol

people have to overcome their fear (it's a Star Trek Episode 3 idea). Tongue

Time is on our side, yes it is!

If the gentic code of Dinosaurs is found and the science is capable then I don't see why not. I'm just thinking it would be best to do something like this on another planet lol.

It depends on whether the DNA is exposed to heat, water, sunlight, and oxygen. If a body is left out in the sun and rain, its DNA will be useful for testing for only a few weeks. If it’s buried a few feet below the ground, the DNA will last about 1,000 to 10,000 years. If it’s frozen in Antarctic ice, it could last a few hundred thousand years. For best results, samples should be dried, vacuum-packed, and frozen at about -80 degrees Celsius.

If it is vacuum-packed, then it could last a few tens of thousands of years. But unfortunately, it is extremely rare to find such vacuum-packed specimens of prehistoric animals in nature.
