I'm Pretty Sure I've Talked About Dinosaur Cloning Before, But Oh Well DINOSAURS

So once the whole cloning thing inevitably gets under way, what're we going to do about the dinosaurs. Yeah, there's two things that we need to stop pretending are true right now: That cloning isn't totally going to become a thing that everyone who thinks it's immoral is just going to have to shut up and deal with, and that scientists totally aren't going to immediately start trying to figure out how to bring dinosaurs back. You know, after all of the clone human organs, benefit humanity, boring, practical science part. In the fun, awesome science division, things have probably already started moving in that direction, so we might as well just roll with it.

Now personally, I know everyone's going to start screaming about how "this is totally like Jurassic Park" and "you guys are totally going to wreck the ecosystem", because apparently these people are going to be shocked to discover that scientists aren't stupid. You know why the people in Jurassic Park got eaten and killed? Because they were stupid and made stupid decisions. Also because it is a movie and it wouldn't be very good if it was just called Placid Plant Eating Dinosaurs Eating Plants Park. When we clone dinosaurs, we're probably not going to be that stupid. You know, we can probably handle that sort of thing. We have rockets and stuff. Shoot a velociraptor. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Or hell, cross breed them with dwarfism. I don't care. Make mini dinosaurs. I just want dinosaurs before I'm dead. Why can't scientists cater to my five-year-old boy dreams?
