I'm sure at least a few of us saw it on the Discovery channel...

Yup, some people are going all "Jurassic Park nerds" and trying to recreate dinosaurs.

I only saw the commercial like once or twice, so I don't know much about it, but apparently a couple of sciencey people are, yeah, pretty much trying to recreate dinosaurs. (Yang, don't even START xD)

What's your opinion?

Personally, I think the people are a bunch'a morons.

I mean, doing this it just going to lead to something terrible, like how cars and machines and stuff lead to global warming.

It is dumb, why didn't they learn from Jurrasic Park? XD Anyway, I see why it should be done SCIENTIFICALLY, but MORALLY, there is no reason. Its like mice and testing cures on them. Its too wrong to be right but in SOME cases necassary. But really, its dumb...Like Dumb...XD

morally...yea it could be wrong.. scientificly.. well let me say this.

I watched jurassic park o.o

again and again and again, trying to figure it it was plausible >.> it is and the only thing they did wrong to make it a disaster was, they used frog's DNA XD as mentioned.. some frogs can change their gender and thus in an all gender area, reproduce. oh..and they had that stupid traitor guy >.> he got eaten :)

I know..i probably watched it too much XD

as long as they don't bring back man eaters >.> we'll be safe

but yea... these guys were chosen to go extinct o.o

You guys know we won't "Get eaten"... right? America possesses the power to blow up the whole planet. I'm SURE they can keep some dinosaurs at bay.

ALSO. Though I personally believe animal testing is wrong, the idea of re-creating a species wouldn't be that bad of an idea. Think about it. RETURNING nature's given species to life. HELL. If they would only do that with the creatures -humans- made extinct, and not the ones nature did...

So, personally? I'm pro-recreation.

And, as I watch you say this is "wrong." I would like to clap and point in the direction of the Magical Menagerie Laboraties, and say HA! Because that's -exactly- what's happening there, and I find it ironic.


AND JURRASSIC PARK IS A MOVIE AND THEREFORE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.

>> Just like Godzilla.

GOOD STORY. Just that STORY. S.T.O.R.Y.!!!!

But it was nature that took dinosaurs away, right? (at least from what is stated by scientists) Nature does control us, but eventually nature will dissapear. When nature takes something away, I'm pretty sure that it's serious. D=

Who's to say humans and their 'science' isn't a part of nature? Comets and everything is a part of nature. I'm not sure why science, and human beings aren't "nature".

I don't see why it's so 'OMG HORRIBIBBLE!!"

To me, it's not relateable to animal testing, and I won't stick my hand in that can of worms because my opinion is the unpopular one.

And... how are they morons, really? They're most likely highly intelligent individuals, far more than any of us here, no matter how much you'd like to deny it. They're doing it to see just how far we can go with science, and it's interesting to me. I admit I'd do it if I was in that field, because it interests me. I want to know if it's possible.

And I almost laughed when watching it because of how MML-esque it was. xD

I wouldn't call a meteor (going with the popular theory, don't shoot me) natural selection at it's best.

I, personally, am against it when it comes to dinosaurs that could kill us- Like T-Rexes. Or that are insanely huge. For the smaller ones that wouldn't kill us, and would add something to the environment? Go ahead.

Although, you have a point with the nature thing- But it's like human cloning. It's wrong to a point, but it can have its uses eventually. Morally?I think it's wrong, but it's not my place to stick morals into science- I'm not a scientist.

I'd like to thank you for saying what isn't "popular". It's hard to say what you think when it isn't what others think...

I also LOVE that "They're NOT stupid" comment. Yea... we're (for the most part) 13-15 year old girls. What the hell do we know? They went to school for YEARS. They're smarter than prolly a lot of us combined... even if it's just because we lack the experience they have. We may grow upt o be as smart as them, but that's just it... most of us... need to GROW UP first. And become adults.

Most teenagers I know think they're the smartest thing on the planet, and everyone else is stupid... yea, news flash, they went to school, they get paid for it, they have the degrees. We don't have a high school diploma yet. x.o Who are we to say they're stupid?

Just because we can blow something up doesn't mean we should.
Being vegitarian, and trying to go vegan, I'm completely against that.
Many animals are bred just to be slaughtered. To recreate anything to find that we just have to kill it... is useless.

I didn't say we should blow anything up, Oshi. I'm saying, if it came down to us, dinosaurs would NOT eat us. DOI. I was dispelling tha arguement that "OMFG dinos bad eat us"...


Oh! And for the record, I wasn't calling any one of us stupid. I was saying we lack the schooling and experience of the scientists doing this.

owo.... Human + human = Dinosaurs...?
xD Seriously on my part of it-

If dinosaurs existed, I would probably be the one yelling 'SHWEET DINOS! 8D' and you would find me being estatic ove rbeing eaten by a Living Tyrannasauris.

There sSIlvs point, that yeah, US has power to asplode the world so Dinosaurs wouldn't prove mucha big threat. If everyone knew what it tok to take cre of them, and let them live naturally, then I'm all for 'em X3

Zevi is yet again, confused because she sees things others say that is plausable and contradicts what she thinks..I don't like debate boards, but I do like to debate.


I personally think it would be cool to have some countries "donate" islands and raise some dinos(if we could) and let them loose there. We could even possibly train them to be..human friendly. And if they are like the scientists say, they should have mostly the intelligents of a deer(for the herbavors) and be frightened by us. As far as the carnivores, only make the smaller ones and leave the bigger ones to amaze us in bone like forms. XD

I sort of have to agree with Silv here. And Everlyn. I mean... I would be the first person at the gate to see a baby quagga born from an empty horse egg given the nucleus of a quagga cell. Or a thylosine.

I don't so much feel for bringing dinosaurs back, though. I was the kid who had nightmares about being eaten by escaped t-rexes. :/ I was the kid who made as little movement while going to sleep as possible because that theory hadn't been disproven yet.

So... Yeah. I could deal with a Dinotopia-esque environment with plant-eating dinosaurs, but without the meat-eating dinosaurs to eat them...? I dunno. Don't shoot me down for the Dinotopia comment-- I haven't seen it in forever and can't remember most of it.

I'd also like to point out that maybe "blowing up the world" isn't the best choice of words... If the world blew up, where would we be? :p

(Haha, I added exactly nothing to the debate.)
