Why not go really controversial and resurrect the Neanderthal or some earlier Homo species? We have the DNA. Would keep human rights lawyers busy for decades trying to decide if they were human enough to have rights or if we could put them in a zoo.

Maybe Horner could start small and resurrect a couple of the species that were declared extinct last year? At least he’d be bringing them back into ecosystems that could theoretically be rehabilitated to accept them.
Then again, a robust resurrection process might be worth developing so that in a couple million years the bugs can resurrect us. How does Homo gallus-sapiens sound?

That’s great, but let’s not!
These critters will be great for all the creationist theme parks.

A nitpick, but the problem with flying cars is not technology; they just are a terribly bad idea.
Consider how terrible people are with cars on the ground, and now imagine how much worse things would get if you add a third dimension, plus the fact that any fender-bender or running out of gas suddenly becomes a crash-landing situation.

That’s something that happens in the alternate universe Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series is set in. A very interesting and plausible take on the idea.

Well we’re never going to get them with that attitude, are we?
No jetpacks, no flying cars, no dinosaur parks, no moonbase. This timeline is awful.

It certainly would be, if anything like this was even remotely possible.
An unnecessary hypothetical: we already deny human rights to the vast majority of homo sapiens.

That’s a quick “No,” then. No billable hours for you.

He’s a paleontologist, not a geneticist. Geneticists don’t say we’ll have dinosaurs running around in 5 years - it’s more complicated than this guy thinks.

Sorry. But I’m all in favor of us putting dinosaurs on the Moon! (Jetpacks optional, but probably pretty cool.)

Not on the T-Rex, it isn’t fair if he can’t reach the buttons.

I wonder if T-Rex would taste like chicken - this could mean a whole new ballgame regarding KFC buckets.
