Not complete full dinosaurs. I dont think thats possible, but i think finding near complete DNA strands and then filling them in with similar DNA is possible.

They found a frozen Wholly Mamoth in the acrtic somewhere...and are trying to get samples from it and if the Governement or UN or whatever accepts then, they will try to clone it.

It can't be that hard, they can get DNA from fossils and amber (like jurassic park) and then fill them in with other animal DNA. Who knows, maybe it's already been done.

Woah, cloning requires a little more than just dinosaur DNA. Jurassic Park was just a movie...

But Im all for cloning Ilovepaintball1's sig. Isn't that Kirsten Dunst?

you gadda remember all those Jesus Freaks who think cloning is wrong, which is funny because it was "God" who gave the humans the superior brain... so why cant we use it?

Except that it's more like avian cloning, and so it's a lot more difficult than Jurassic Park (read the novel to see what I mean). Something about white vs red blood cells.

Even if they did clone them, which may be possible (I don't know), most likely there won't be much we could learn from them. The difficulties of living in a totally different atmosphere and all might just kill them.

To make it even harder, I don't think anyone has even come close to recovering a full strand of DNA from dinosaur remains or mosquitoes.

Maybe they'll do it. I can guarantee someone will raise a fuss over the issue of if it's an abomination to God or whatever.. meh. Maybe it is.

We'll find out, won't we?
Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to take down a T-rex... a .50 round hitting it would be like a a .22 hitting a human in the arm.. just a lil pain.

dinosaurs are dead for a reason. I hope they do not clone a dinousaur because then we would all die.

Why, for studdies or the sole purpose of raiding some small town riding ontop of a T-rex?  Hahaha, that would be sweet.
