We've all read the book or seen the movie 'Jurassic Park'. We saw how it was suggested that a dinosaur could be re-created from the blood of an insect, who lived millions of years ago, and who had been fossilized in a tree sap.
These were the step taken:
STEP 1)Find a piece of amber with a blood sucking insect from the dinosaur era trapped in it.
STEP 2)Extract the blood that insect sucked from a dinosaur.
STEP 3)Use the dinosaur's genetic code (DNA) found in the blood cells as blueprints for another dinosaur. If pieces of the DNA are missing, fill in the gaps with frog DNA.
STEP 4)Use these blue prints to create a dinosaur egg.
STEP 5)Hatch the dinosaur in an incubator.
STEP 6)Raise the dinosaur to full size.
Could we really use this formula to recreate dinosaurs? If we can't today, could we reasonably expect our technology to get good enough that we could do it in the future?
