Sweet maybe after this we can go ahead and extract DNA from a mosquito in amber and use that to make dinosaurs and open a theme park with them. Sounds like that

Sweet maybe after this we can go ahead and extract DNA from a mosquito in amber and use that to make dinosaurs and open a theme park with them. Sounds like that is the next Chriton movie on the list now that we are checking of "The Andromeda Strain".
- dqpb 4y agoI'm totally in favor of bringing back dinosaurs. I'm also in favor of modifying animals to have more human-like brains. I understand that many/most people would oppose this on ethical grounds. I could probably even articulate those positions if I tried. But, deep down in my inner child, I think the world would be much more interesting if these things existed.
- buscoquadnary 4y agoI will consent to your argument on the grounds that we provide equal funding and research to the construction of giant robots to fight the dinosaurs when they escape.
- dqpb 4y agoSounds like a win-win!
- MichaelCollins 4y agoSpeaking of The Andromeda Strain, I used to assume the safety measures of real life labs for pathogen research were comparable to what Crichton described in that book. Well, probably not with nuclear bombs rigged to sterilize the facility in case of an accident, but at least built remote and with serious quarantine procedures. Apparently not. Apparently they build these places in the middle of cities and let workers go home every evening. Insanity.
