Dinosaur Find Takes Scientists Beyond Bones
I’ve seen a few movies where dinosaurs are cloned using “state-of-the-art” techniques. Are any of these scenarios possible? Are they biologically realistic?

I think that the topic on recreating a dinosaur is fascinating and all but my only problem is that in a discovery channel special the air in the Jurassic period had more oxygen levels and was more humid. The trouble with this is that the dinosaur may not live. Yes I think that birds and lizards evolved from dinosaurs, but devolution, it make also make trouble because in is a untrained prehistoric animal. It would follow its natural choices, and that may cause it to attack us. In short terms I think that making a dinosaur is cool and all, but long term in may be deadly.
I tihnk that creating a dinosaur would be possible but not in the near future. I also think that it would attack us if we were to re create a dinosaur. I think it will be un-safe for us to re create anything from the prehistoric age.
I think that the first article was really interesting. I still can't grasp the idea that once there was dinosaurs roaming our planet. It's so different and weird to think about. I think being like Mary Higby Schweitzer would be a really hard job but also really interesting and fun. But I think it would creep me out.
I think that the possibility of cloning a Dinosaur is a crazy thought! I was very supprised to read how many things people need to actually clone a Dinosuar. These articles make me wonder if in 20 or 30 years if we will be able to clone and live as one with the Dinosuars.
I think that this is crazy that they can clone these animals. i don't even get how they can do this like is seems so complicated if you ask me. these people must be really smart in order to do this
I read the first article, and thought that it was really interseting. I think it would be really cool if we were able to re create dinosours. Although i don't if we could handle it. I am very excited to learn more about dinosours in this class and look forward to reading jerassic park.
I think these articles are pretty interesting. They show a lot of good information. I definently like the article about the asking and answering questions. I learned a lot like in movies they don't have all the dinosaurs DNAs so they use some of frogs DNAs. It would be imposible if they collected a whole dinosaurs DNA.
I think even if the dinosaurs were to live in the world’s oxygen level they would probably be mutated because taking the blood from the mosquito probably would change the dinosaur completely.
I think that it's a very interesting topic when it comes to reproducing dinosaur genes, and also that people have questioned whether or not it is possible. Nothing in the movies is real, that is what makes it so popular to the audience, an example is Jurassic Park. The thought of a dinosaur trotting around, isn't very realistic to me, it just seems that if the dinosaur were placed in the society we have today, it would surely eat everything and everyone in it's path.
