Yay or Nay?

I say yes - Mainly for middle eastern purposes but then i'm a Racist!

Neigh. Clone horses instead.

NachoBusiness

Yeah, be deadly. Put them all in a park or something. What could go wrong.

Ruu

No thanks, saw enough of those Jurassic Park documentaries to know we shouldn't mess with this stuff!

Clone a rake of Einsteins to see what they come up with.

Don't see the point of cloning animals,all they do is eat and shoite.

Mr Ardinn I've decided not to endorse your park.

_Brian

I'd say no.
We can't stop the wild animals we have from going extinct so why should we resurrect other extinct species.

When a shower of armoured t-rex mounted Tuareg come to town on a raid, I'd keep that to yourself, were I you. Not just the "racism" bit but also that you thought it was a good idea to send over the dino's.

Hande hoche!

Just don't put a sexy redhead in charge of things.

Or a grey haired Brit. Or trust the dude who shites on about how good his dino killing gear is.

I'll take the hot raptor trainer though thanks.

We could raise them on special dino farms and then shoot them and sell their meat.

Someone was listening to Newstalk today!!

I say yes, it will keep the Scifi channel going for another generation. Sharktopus versus Stegabear, velocirabbit versus diplodonkey. Endless new combinations.

Maybe so that we can stop the wild animals we have from going extinct

If we bring back the extinct animals they'll eventually evolve into the modern animals anyway.

You had one job!

Imagine the Manure for the Roses if they did clone them !

Animals that kill are interesting.

Speaking of Newstalk,Yer man reackoned the T Rex was about the size of a large Turkey with feathers.
Nothing like the Movies.

If velocorabbit isn't the name of a sextoy it should be.

candy-gal1

Oh definitly, why have we not done this before, the whole dino park thing?! I mean we know why now, kinda, amber on a tree , blood sucking insect etc etc, I know it sounds childish and wierd but Ive always wanted and been waiting for that to happen, since Jurassic Park :D

Just dont hire idiots, if you can, have proper safety and dont invent new dinos

Capt'n Midnight

We still have dinos with feathers and stuff. Selective breeding of Hoatzins would get us close

Anyway I'd rather see some of the megafauna restructured .

Giant sloths and mammoths.


And the biggie , Neanderthals

I'm almost certain I've seen a movie about this.. Something to do with a Park?

Son Of A Vidic

Release a pack of Velociraptors into the Dáil during a debate. We'd instantly liven the place up and simultaneously raise the IQ level of the chamber.

Maybe then Inda would look at Claire Daly and say 'Clever Girl'

Sure, why not?

In the name of human curiosity and endeavour, anything that science can do should be done.

What, as opposed to featherless turkeys?

Or nothing like the actual bones of its massive skeleton???

You sure he didn't mean it looked like a large turkey?

The Adversary

It's actually quite interesting. The 'cloning dinosaurs from DNA' thing from Jurassic Park is impossible because DNA breaks down very quickly and no chance would survive a few thousand years never mind 65 million and if you take blood from a mosquito and try clone using that you'll end up with a room full of mosquito's. Although hey have found dinosaur collagen and bone marrow IIRC.

Apparently what they're trying to do now is reverse engineer chicken genes to create a "dinochicken" that has teeth, a long tail and arms instead of wings. Of course in reality it's far from a dinosaur and is just really a chicken that vaguely resembles something that walked the earth 65 million years ago and will still behave like any other chicken. Last time I checked they found the gene for teeth and are still looking for the other genes.

Maybe he meant the ones depicted were way smaller than reality.
May listen back.

Ah, fair enough, I was trying to figure out what sort of madness they were getting up to.

I'm not sure the world is ready for fanged chickens. Hens teeth will get a lot more common.
