We have the technology required, why can't we make a real Jurassic Park?

  1. In order to be able to recreate dinos, we need to have their DNA which comes from saliva, blood, hair, etc.. whatever techs we have, we don't have their DNA just bones. In my opinion, its impossible to clone or recreate with just bones! (remember the sheep)


  2. We might have the technology supposedly for cloning, but we don't have the materials. Hot, fresh, dinosaur DNA isn't really in great supply.

    And, even if it was, we'd have the problem of making an egg-case to put the dinosaur babies in. And we have difficulties cloning humans, much less species we've never seen a living specimen of.

    The truth is, we don't have the technology or the materials tuned up enough just yet. Maybe someday we'll have super-gene-splicing technology and we can stitch together chickens and crocodiles to create some sort of dinosaur look alike, but not now.

  3. the scientists are working on it...

  4. We do have the technology to create robots maybe. I don't think you exactly meant to clone them and create real dinosaurs again... But if they are created, who knows how much damage they could really do?! Of course they would have to be made on their own island like JP, but who knows? If they were real, not robots, there may be fear that they would evolve and learn to swim... we'd have a lot of Godzilla issues on our hands!

  5. We do not have the technology to recreate extinct spieces.

    We can clone animals, that is take all the DNA from an actually living cell and plant it in fertilized egg of another animal of the SAME spiece to produce an embryo, so we absolutely need a compatible fetilized egg. What would the "dinosaur" DNA be put in? A chiken egg?  A crocodile egg?

    Second, although paleontologist sometime manage to extract DNA from fossils, it is only part of the whole DNA, like finding a few chapters from a book. We miss the other chapters to get the complete picture, those parts degraded million of years ago.

  6. cuz they are dead all of them are dead , like why cant we recreate my grandpa that died why!!!!!!!!!
