The Pros And Cons Of Jurassic Park

To start off, cloning is inefficient and a very hazardous procedure. There have been many attempts to clone primates other than humans,

Henry Wu would change the DNA for the purpose of control of the animals that he created. More specifically, he took away some of the dinosaurs’ ability to produce lysine, a crucial amino acid. “Foods rich in lysine. What happened to these animals?” (Crichton 399). This quote is from the end portion of the book when Dr. Grant is informed that new animals have arrived on Costa Rica. He was also informed that these animals were eating strictly agama beans, soy, and chickens which are lysine-rich foods. At this point in the book, it is hinted that these animals are the dinosaurs that escaped from Isla Nublar (the island that Jurassic Park was built on). Dr. Grant drew this conclusion because he had been previously told by Dr. Henry Wu that he had altered the dinosaurs’ DNA so that they could not produce lysine themselves. Dr. Henry Wu did this for two reasons. The first reason was that the animals would be dependent on their Jurassic Park caretakers for specifically lysine-rich food. The second reason was that only the creators of these dinosaurs would know what they lacked and they planned to sell branded food to people who might adopt miniaturized versions of the dinosaurs. In this way, they could maximize the profits they made off of their creation. But when the dinosaurs escaped, they needed to find a source of lysine to compensate for what they lacked. Otherwise, they would not function

This was successful and it was all made possible and controlled by technology; including extremely high-tech computers which manipulated the DNA strands. John Hammond’s character may be seen as a genius with only good intentions, of improving the research of dinosaurs, by some people, but he was a victim of greed. This developed because of the power he held; therefore he did not take the necessary amount of time to consider the implications of his creation. After bringing his grandchildren to the island he thought, “He should have never brought those kids. They had been nothing but trouble from the beginning.

“Chaos theory proves that unpredictability is built into our daily lives.”(Crichton 313). Ian Malcolm’s words resolve the book, Jurassic Park, in a very absolute way. Throughout the book, Malcolm, spoke about chaos theory and his self proclaimed “Malcolm Effect” to explain his reasoning in his predictions. Ian Malcolm had predicted the demise of Jurassic Park even before its opening, as well as its multiple problems and difficulties. Malcolm’s theory is evidenced countless times throughout the story of Jurassic Park; dinosaurs are breeding, dinosaurs are escaping, and systems fail.

Dinosaurs ruled the earth for over 65 million years and thankfully for the human race, they became extinct. Ultimately, only a major catastrophe could completely wipe out an entire species, let alone an entity of dinosaurs and the debacle on the causes of dinosaur extinction have flooded the minds of paleontologists for centuries. Geologist and zoologist Stephen Jay Gould published “Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs,” to compare scientific and speculative causes of dinosaur decimation. Personally, I found this passage very informational and enjoyed reading it. Gould provides three theories that capture the reader’s curiosity, allowing room for pondering in one’s mind.

Although the Ediacaran period was well before the first appearance of dinosaurs it shows that there were fossils many years ago. When dinosaurs first appeared things had changed there was still shallow water which meant that bones could be fossilized.

First, cloning is a bad thing because most things that undergo cloning have many medical disorders and die an early death. On https://listontap.com/10-reasons-human -cloning-bad-society-large/ they gave marvelous examples why. It took exactly 277 eggs to make a clone of Dolly. That shows how little attempt at cloning fail. Another thing is Many cloned animals have under formed hearts lungs and other organs. That just goes to show how cloning animals is not very practical for the animals only live around half the lifespan of their breed of animal. Take Dolly's clone her clone died at, 6 years old, half of what sheep of her breed live. Over all cloning is mostly unsuccessful.

To begin, set in the 1980s John Hammond hired multiple engineers, construction workers, and scientists to recreate the dinosaurs on a remote island 120 miles off of the coast of Costa Rica. This was successful and it was

The biggest mystery surrounding the dinosaur is how did they die? For over 130 million years dinosaurs ruled the earth. Then 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period, they died out.

bad things. The creator knew that dinosaurs were dangerous but he still decided to put them in a

We should clone endangered and extinct animals because they can help cure diseases that we don’t know how to do today or that we don't have the ability to do today. It is a good idea to clone animals because

John Hammond developed Jurassic park to house his genetically engineered dinosaurs. The billionaire creates a paradise in Isla Nublar Island in Costa Rica. InGen engineering company successfully cloned different types of dinosaurs from simple strands of DNA. Hammond assures his team of experts that the park is safe haven and paradise, “it’s guaranteed to drive children out of

     Cloning animals or humans would be very risky. Cloning is very unpredictable. Therefore no one can estimate exactly how risky cloning can be. We have already used a lot of animals in crazy experiments and none of them succeeded. Yes, even Dolly. Many of you think Dolly, the first animal to be cloned wasn?t really successful. Dolly became sick and was put to rest. Another point which often people overlook or try to hide is that in the making of Dolly, about 277

According to the research made by Alvarez (1980), it was due to an asteroid impact that single-handedly destroyed dinosaurs to extinction. Advocacy of this mechanism has been aided by the availability and tangibility of supporting evidence in the form of impact craters- the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula's date and timing of impact (dating produced an almost exact date of 65 million years ago), location, enormous size-170 km (Hildebrand et al.1991) and its high iridium content ( a metal not commonly found at the Earth's surface) make it seem that with a theoretical asteroid 10 km big caused the crater great damage at the end of the Cretaceous (Alvarez et al. 1980).

The word dinosaur was invented in 1842 by Richard Owen. Dinosaur comes from the Greek word “deinos” and “sauros” which translates to fearfully great lizard (“Learn about Dinosaurs”). Dinosaurs are always named in Greek and usually named after their unique fossils, where they 're found, it’s size or a person. Before a dinosaur can be officially named it must be approved by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. It’s difficult to figure out how dinosaurs sounded, mated, behaved, what color/pattern they were and which ones are male or female. Paleontologists have however been able to discover that dinosaurs hatch from eggs, their bones have growth rings which can help figure out their age and that the larger dinosaurs lived for roughly 100 years and smaller ones for less. All dinosaurs evolved from other reptiles during the Triassic period. Dinosaurs are either herbivores or carnivores and are divided into two major groups. Bird hipped, Ornithischian, or lizard hipped, Saurischa. In the Saurischa hipped dinosaurs the pubis bone is down and to the front but in Ornithischian hipped it is point down and towards the tail (“Zoom Dinosaur”). The next step was to examine how dinosaurs behaved and their characteristics.
