Scientists are going mad! Literally. The next step for them is resurrecting Dinosaurs from their fossils and from combining birds DNA with other structures because birds, surprisingly, have the closest DNA structures as Dinosaurs.We are in a very dangerous age of having the ability to do unimaginable possibilities. Creating artificial Big Bangs. Creating X-matter studies and Time Travel. Yes Time Travel. Anyway I was very much interested in this article that I will paste below and I thought of sharing it with you.
I am thinking of what would happen to the world if a resurrected Dinosaur escapes, it would be a disaster and a threat to the whole world because there are specific dinosaurs that produce asexually. They have the male and the female organs and they reproduce real fast.
Nowadays we have sufficient technology to create monsters, new species and new elements. The only problem facing scientists or in other words "holding them back" is the philosophical aspects of all the interesting experiments they want and have the capabilities to accomplish.
A paste from the article I read will end with a link to see the whole article:
Deep inside the dusty university store room, three scientists struggle to lift a huge fossilized bone.
It is from the leg of a dinosaur.
For many years, this chunky specimen has languished cryptically on a shelf.
Interesting but useless — a forgotten relic of a lost age.
Now, with hammer and chisel poised, the academics from Montana State University in America gather round.
They are about to shatter this rare vestige of the past.
Why would they do such a thing?
The answer is that they believe that this single fragment of a beast which stalked the earth untold millions of years ago could hold the key which will unlock the secrets of the dinosaurs.
Extraordinarily, they contend that it could lead to a real life Jurassic Park, where dinosaurs are once again unleashed on the world by scientists.
For just like in the hit Steven Spielberg movie, these men and women are intent on cracking the genetic code of the dinosaurs and opening the possibility of bringing them back to life.
Their remarkable quest will be revealed in a TV documentary, Dinosaurs: Return To Life, to be screened tomorrow.

It poses the question: will scientists ever be able to resurrect the dinosaur?
According to Jack Horner, professor of palaeontology at Montana State University, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
He says: ‘Of course we can bring them back to life. Their ancestral DNA is still present.
'The science is there. I don’t think there are any barriers, other than the philosophical.’
So just how have these scientists arrived at the point where they believe they might unleash the mysteries of a prehistoric lost world?
In order to understand their journey, we have to travel back a little less time — to 1992.
This was when Raul Cano, professor of microbiology at California Polytechnic State University, made the first attempt to extract DNA from insects almost as old as the dinosaurs that had been embedded in amber, a sticky tree sap which hardens into transparent orange stone.
Speculation about this possibility inspired the Jurassic Park story, in which an amber-trapped... MORE
