Do you do it? Will you play God by bringing them back to life, for an island theme park? They would be engineered to live in our current atmosphere and eat our plants.

I'd do it without hesitation. It wouldn't even be a moral question for me.

I'd also want to go there as a tourist, if somebody else were to do it. But I doubt I could afford a ticket. The blood-sucking lawyer would win out.

Personally no. I dont care about some extinct creatures, better use that money for entertainment.

That's why I said "billionaire." Let's just say enough money that it would barely impact you. The profits from the theme park would probably make you wealthier. But no guarantees.

Been playing a lot of Jurassic World Evolution lately, so in my very professional opinion as a dinosaurgameologist I 110% would clone dinosaurs.

The real question is this: would the park I build cut corners, inevitably lead to dinosaurs getting loose and eating people as I watch?

That answer is also yes. Video games have turned me into a monster, the politicians were right.

I'd do dinosaurs of course, but I'd also do Island of Dr Moreau. Make some human-animal hybrids!

*gasp*

No, wait...DINOSAUR-human hybrids.

If this means humans will die off then yes.

Would rather spend it on space or sea exploration. Suppose I might just do one dinosaur of each though.

I love Dinosaurs but not crazy to bring them back from the dead. I'd say, lets bring back the Ice Age creatures such as the Wooly Mammoth and we'll talk about being a billionaire. Truth be told, I wouldn't do it for money but for science!

No, I'd spend the money frivolously on more fun mantra.

Like... "Hey honey, I parked the new gun in the garage..."

"What do you mean... Parked..."

I'd use the profits and fame from that theme park to lobby the US government towards renewal energy. Try to shame the other billionaires who only care about short-term profit. Could probably use my dinosaurs as a basis for my arguments.

"Species are going extinct all the time. These dinosaurs are only able to survive because of the very specific ecosystem we provide them and the high costs spent on engineering them so. The African elephant could be the next triceratops. Killed off by droughts, with only a few languishing in zoos and wild preserves. The oil CEOs will always aim at transitioning in twenty years, or pretend to, long enough for them to retire."

I was for sure interested when young. But now, I would prefer to have a grocery.

Just wanted to point out, for those who proclaim faith in a God -- they would say he killed them or allowed them to perish. So playing God, would mean not bringing them back, or at the very least bringing back and wiping them out again.

lol, but on topic: Sure, why not? It would be interesting to see them live.

That`s why I said "billionaire." Let's simply say sufficient cash that it might slightly effect you. I dont care approximately a few extinct creatures, higher use that cash for entertainment.

This sounds very much like Jurassic Park. See still know how that goes, so no, u would not.
