Disclaimer - this post is the product of exhaustion and boredom. I am not responsible for the contents of this post.
So I keep reading stuff every now and then about scientists trying to clone woolly mammoths and I see stuff about gene manipulation in animals. I'm putting two and two together and thinking of how cool it would be if they could actually clone a dinosaur and manipulate it's DNA to the point where it wasn't more than 2-3 feet tall. How cool would it be to own a 3 ft tall T-rex?

That would be pretty cool until it attacks one of your friends like that crazy chimp.

Let's be honest though, everyone has at least one disposable friend that wouldn't be missed.

that would be beast. Itll happen someday. i know they have Dino DNA Perhaps in old bones, or preserved eggs somewhere.
but the only problem i see is that it needs a host aka birth mother. I know there have been clones already but I dont think theres been an actual test tube baby yet.

How hard would it be to recreate a dinosaur womb? come on now! This is so possible.

Right now they need a womb. May not be that way in the future. I predict we will see a cloned Mammoth at the very least in our lifetime.

How long would it take for people to turn them into an army of blood-hungry murderers?  |

That would indeed be awesome, I own quite a few reptiles, which are really close to them, but still not the actual thing due to evolution over time.

wait a second. Today, the closest relative to a Dinosaur is the chicken. So maybe if they can do their whole magical "extract Dino DNA", then they can find the biggest ing chicken they can, and see if it could be the host! |
