This matters not. If we cannot reproduce them, we can RECREATE them. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. More likely to subvert our half-thought-out containment procedures and eat us.
Even JP dinosaurs used like frog or toad DNA. They weren't even true clones. Science will just have to use Alligator and Elephant DNA to create some hybrid dino-like creature. Plus there is always Time Travel. Clone Dinos in the past, then create them in the future. Part of my new Video Game: "George Washington: Dinosuar Hunter"Froggy Slayer said:
lame, but not really. i remember hearing that awhile ago, the guy that confirmed it is still a bastard though
Meh... as nice as it would be to see a real dinosaur, I guess you can't have everything...
I'd still like to see a real smilodon/woolly mammoth, though.

Fossil fuel comes primarily from ancient plankton, algae & peat.
The introduction of even a single species of cloned dino would screw ecology over, unless it was very small & lived on something plentiful like mice, crickets, grass, or maple leaves. Set a few loose in the wild & they start competing with other animals for food sources or become predators that wipe out a species that kept pests no other animal would eat in-check. Maybe they start eating cats & dogs. Maybe they starve to death because they'll only eat a type of plant that doesn't exist anymore.
Okay, I just created the script to a genre of horror movie that hasn't been done to death.

Well, here's hoping for time travel to get developed so we can go back and nab us a couple of our reptilian friends.
People, these scientists held back by facts, ethics, and the laws of physics have crushed our dream for jetpacks, dinosaurs, and laser rifles for TO LONG! Gentlemen, we need to overthrow the old scientifical order, and put in place NEW scientists that will not stop at NOTHING to bring the dinosaurs back to life.
Hehe, they used Moa bones!
I remember going to a camping lodge during primary school that had a mini museum full of the things.

my thoughts exactly I don't know what is up with everyone else but I don't want to risk a T-Rex eating me or smashing my house to bits so I am glad its not possableBhaalspawn said:
No we can't, clones out of DNA is only GENETICALLY identical; it does not preserve memory, habits or even guarantee superficial similarity. A clone of Lincoln may only guarantee his racial features, he may look entirely different from the real Lincoln being fatter, taller, sound differently with different habits and perspective from the source material, IT WILL NOT HAVE ANY OF REAL LINCOLN'S MEMORY!!Neronium said:
Cloning humans is practically useless with the exception of harvesting organs which are morally unacceptable in our society therefore makes it close to totally useless.
