Jurassic Park: Has Science Gone Too Far?

When I was little, I watched the movie Jurassic Park. It was a Steven Spielberg movie based on the fictional novel by Michael Crichton by the same name. The basis of the movie was a theme park with exhibits of artificially re-created animals. The scientists at Jurassic Park developed a way to extract dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes that had supposedly bitten a pre-historic animal and had been fossilized in amber. With the "Dino-DNA", the scientists injected it into frogs. The frogs then laid eggs and eventually the eggs would produce a dinosaur. In a controlled environment, this idea would have worked perfectly. But this is an imperfect world, Hollywood, and imperfect people. The dinosaur cloning goes wrong, the animals became more and more intelligent

With the human mind becoming more intelligent as generations, decades, and centuries elapse, different scientific ideas are evolving and are becoming greater. The question is, “Has science gone too far?” In the article, “Dr. Daedalus”, Rosen thinks of plastic surgery as an art and science and wants to expand the norms of plastic surgery into something more than just your average cosmetic surgery; he wants to put wings on people, but people questioned and disagreed with the notion of putting wings on people and some thought that putting wings on humans was an act of trying to play God. The concept of playing the role of God correlates with the article, “In the Black Chamber”, when the businessmen and scientist wanted to revive extinct species. In both articles, the idea of putting wings on humans and reviving extinct species were questioned whether or not it was playing the role of God. The concept of playing the role of God is not just a correlation between the two articles, but there is also a contradiction. When Rosen was attacked with the idea that putting wings on humans was act of trying to play the role of God, Rosen’s response to that notion was, “And who says it’s bad to play God? We already alter the course of God’s ‘will’ in hundreds of ways.” The response of Rosen shows that he is not against the idea of playing God because, as humans, we do it anyway and have been for years. But the fact

In the article,” Dr. Daedalus”, Rosen thinks that whatever change happens to our bodies, our minds will adapt to the change. Rosen states, “Our bodies change our brains, and our brains are infinitely moldable.” Regardless of whether we receive a limb amputation or gain a limb (wings), our brains are wired to map out the change and adapt to it. The concern of the brain adapting to a change of the body correlates with the concern of whether humans will adapt to having extinct species back on earths’ grounds. The scientists and businessmen that organized the “Revive and Restore” project think that humans will adapt to the return of extinct species. Kingsnorth mentions in the article, “This was partly due to the standard media assumption…. that anything involving cutting-edge technologies is inherently beneficial to humankind.” Because the organizers of “Revive and Restore” seem to think that the project is beneficial to the human race, people will adapt to having extinct species back on this planet. The concept of whether our minds can adapt to a change of the body and humans adapting to extinct species walking on this earth once again is not just a correlation of
