    If only there were a novel -- or maybe even a series of highly popular movies -- that could explain why this is a bad idea.https://twitter.com/thegarance/status/1104436832425660422 …

        While I’m morally/ethically opposed to bringing species back from extinction, I’m not sure that the Jurassic Park story in and of itself makes a convincing case for not bringing them back. I.e., in the story I don’t think the consequences outweigh the reward of having dinos back
