Bioengineers clone 15 species of dinosaurs and establish an island preserve where tourists can view the large reptiles; chaos ensues when a rival genetics firm attempts to steal frozen dinosaur embryos, and it's up to two kids, a safari guide and a paleontologist to set things right. PW called this, "A scary, creepy, mesmerizing technothriller with teeth."
I disagree with bioengineering. Why do it when we have everything we need here? Bioengineering will only cause problems. Sure it would be cool to have like a little pet dinosaur or a pet elephant but there are consequences. They could get out of control and try to kill you.Any bioengineered animal isn't guaranteed to be safe and not destory anything.
ReplyDeleteI am against the use of bioengineering. I do not believe it is right for man to play God, as only God may create. I am also critical of it because if too much research is done on bioenigineering, the information can be put into the wrong hands, and can be used to another purpose besides its intended use, like for terrorism or weaponry. Finally, the funding of these experiments may come from taxpayers' money, and this is not what people normally pay for.
ReplyDeleteI think bioenineering is morally wrong. God made all the creaters the way he wanted, so we shouldn't mess with them. If a horse is grey we should not make it pink because it's pretty to look at. We have no knowledge of the consequences, so we don't know the long term effects. What happens if we make a mini lion and it has the meaness of two lions and attacks everyone. Where are thety getting the funds? What would happen in the future? There are to unanswerable questions to ever think of bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with bioengineering because when animals are cloned, that's not they way they are meant to be. Changing the genetics of animals is like changing evolution. Also, a lot of things could go wrong. The animals could attack and kill people like in the book. If bioengineering had to be done, it should be done on animals that couldn't hurt people very badly.
ReplyDeleteBioengoneering is wrong. You never know what is going to happen, so somebody could be hurt or even killed. When you introduce new organism you never know the outcomes. It could die because may not be suited to ive in our time period. With the dinosaurs, nobody knows how to care for them or even what to expect from them. New diseases can be created. To make the dinosaurs comfortable, they had to find the hot, humid island that is Lsla Nublar. Even finding the climate would be a challenge. You just never know what will happen.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe in bioengineering because I think it's cruel to the animals. They don't need to be changed. I think we should just leave them alone and let them live in ther habitats wild y and free. Bioengineering would make a lot of money but in the end the animals could be harmed. It's not fair.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with bioengineering. i believe that we shouldn't try to change or improve what God created. God made the world exactly the way he wanted it, and I don't think anybody should use bioengineering to fix it because something can go wrong, just like in the book where the dinosaurs are out and a few people have died already. If we are trying to produce more of whatever we are trying to produce, that is wrong, and we should take more care of what we have and use it wisely.
ReplyDeleteI am against bioengineering because we shouldn't be bringing back to life man-eating dinosaurs. Sure, bringing back old plants that could help us cure illnesses would be fantastic, but what if it brought new ones? We really need to consider bringing back the past. Otherwise we could be making a huge mistake that could affect mankind.
ReplyDeleteI personally disagree with bioengineering. I feel that in creating new things we can also create new problems for ourselves. If we were to create a cure to something like cancer, that would be great but for all we know cancer is a virus that can change and adapt to different vaccines and this new vaccine eventually makes a super cancer that is 20 times as bad as regular cancer. What if we make a corn that will grow four times as quickly as regular corn so that farmers can grow a lot more during the season? This corn will lets out its own bioengineered pollen that when let into the air could end up being a weed that kills everything in its way. What do we do then? We will probably make some kind of bioengineered pesticide to kill it. Then that, when it is absorbed by the ground, depletes the ground of its nutrients and kills everything. Now we are left with a bigger problem then we started with. I am not saying that bioengineering can't do any good. I am just saying does the good outweigh the bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with bioengineering. Bioengineering is good if you’re trying to cure cancer or other bad diseases. Bioengineering though, should not be used to clone any animals/dinosaurs/plants. Some animals/dinosaurs/plants have become extinct for a reason; it is not for us to judge what should be here, and what shouldn’t.
ReplyDeletei do disagree with bioengineering because in my opinion god made things the way they are for a reason and why would he want us to mess with the things he has already created? in my opinion it is wrong and i think that people today should just leave things alone before something like jurassic park really does happen.
ReplyDeleteI think bioengineering is wrong in the case of animals and plants. Living things should not be altered because God made them that way for a reason. It is not our job to go running around injecting stuff into helpless creatures to make the world better for ourselves. Humans may have the upper hand in the food chain, but there are other things on this planet and they're not just going to bend over backwards to our every whim. We don't know everything we need to know about this, and experimenting will only harm other things in the process. We have no idea what the consequences are. In the case of medicine, I think that bioengineering would be acceptable because it is helping someone. We can live without dinosaurs and giant birds that fly us to school everyday, but we can't live with diseases. This is why I don't agree with Hammond. Bioengineering for the sake of entertainment is morally wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I'm for, or against bioengineering. I think I just might have to settle for both. The reason for this is so many good things could result from the process. However, if something goes wrong, they may not know how to fix it. So for now, I believe I may have to look at both sides equally.
ReplyDeleteI disagree on the concept of bio-engineering. The ability to create or recreate life is not our responsibility in the world. Natural selection has to go through its natural course without humans messing around with it. We should not be "playing God". We also do not know any of the consequences involved in this so called science. Things will always go wrong but this is something we might not know how to fix. In my personal opinion, bio-engineering is something we shouldn't do.
ReplyDeleteI am completely against bio-engineering with my whole heart. Why should we change what we have? Or do we not have enough? Honesty, feeding kids in Africa is just an excuse for all of us living in the lap of luxury to play around with nature. A quote from Jurassic park states "...scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." That quote in itself proves that bio-engineering needs to be thought through by serious scientists, not those fools who walk around in white coats for the money. Most of all, the last I checked, I believe God would not be too happy about us destroying and re-arranging the creations He worked so hard to create. Nature simply shouldn't be changed, as if we haven't already done enough damage.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on bioengineering is that it is good. One reason is that it can make anything better than it already is. Another thing is that it can also help the economy. Bioengineering can also help bring back endangered species or maybe even extinct species. Lastly, bioengineering can make things bigger or smaller, such as an elephant. Who doesn't want a mini pet elephant.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with bioengineering for a number of reasons. One, we don't know the risks. A lot of things could go wrong. What would we do? How would we fix it? Two, we shouldn't try to fix what isn't already broken. Three, why on Earth would you want to make a giraffe bigger than it already is? I mean, it won't make you sound smarter. You'll just sound like you've been on crack. "Look at my awesome super-tall bulky giraffe! It looks like it's on steroids!" Duurr. Leave God's creations alone. They don't like you. So my point is that we shouldn't mess around with our wonderful creatures on this planet. Let them be.
ReplyDeleteI am against bioengineering because I don’t think it is right. I think it is not good for people to be messing around with God’s creation. God created the earth the way he wanted it to be and I don’t think we should be changing around animals and making them different. We should let the earth, animals, and people change on their own. Bioengineering can also be very dangerous. Like in Jurassic Park, the animals might go crazy and start hurting people, or other animals. We wouldn’t want this happening, that is why I am against bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteIn general, bioengineering is a good thing. It brings scientists such as physicists and biologists etc. to advance medicine. It allows to perform complicated operations with the help of robotics. It helps to improve the quality of life of people who are disabled. I have recently seen on the news, a doctor from London who applies bioengineering techniques to help animals lead a fairly normal life. Without the technology, they would be put to sleep. On the other hand I think bioengineering has its limit. There are many hazards. People do it anyway, we can't really do much to stop it, sorry anti-bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteI somewhat agree and disagree with bioengineering because it can have many different pros and cons. Pros would be maybe finding cures for cancer, by reengineering extinct plants. You can bring back smaller non-threatening animals back to study, and understand them more. Opportunities like more jobs to help fix our economy. Cons would be that these things brought back to life could go wrong and create terrible things. Others is that not all of these animals could/would be the same as they were when they were alive years ago. Their are pros and cons to everything but i think that bioengineering I lean more to the agreement of it.
ReplyDeleteI support bioengineering. Bioengineering helps create new things that are beneficial for people. It is a very vast area, from producing artificial arms to genetically modified organisms. It is the technology of the future, but people should be careful because we don't know the outcome of using bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteI am for bioengineering because we can make new species, and bring back old ones. By bringing back old species we can find out what caused them to die out and what thier habitat was like. We can also make new plants to help make cures for diseases. Also, it can help people by giving them jobs.
ReplyDeleteBioengineering is wrong and immoral. If God made these animals extinct it must have been for a reason, God does everything for a reason. We know little about diseases that existed during that time, who knows maybe that’s what killed all the dinosaurs. This may create new jobs but it also puts lives in danger. Ian Malcolm described it perfectly in the book the chaos theory. There is just too much that can go wrong it could cause a preexisting species to go extinct because of the new disease from bioengineering and then create a huge domino effect on other animals
ReplyDeleteI think bioengineering is good because it can make a lot of different things. To food you can add many different things like nutrients and many more. I think it also can be bad because you really don't know what you are eating because there are so many different things changed in the process of bioengineering. I think the best thing to eat is organic foods.
ReplyDeleteI am against bioengineering. I am against it because we should enjoy God's creation the way he gave i to us. We should not bioengineer food or animals. We should eat or enjoy them as natural as possible. We should keep the Earth's gifts just the way they are. Over all I am against bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteI agree with bioengineering. While many people disagree with it, I think it can benefit the human population. I believe this because it can be used to create a larger food supply for underprivileged countries. One day we might even be able to enhance a plant to help cure diseases, such as cancer. Lastly, bioengineering can create more jobs in this field and others.
ReplyDeletethis is the exact same thing i typed the first over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with bioengineering because in the near future people might be able to clone endangered animals. And when people need a transplant they can just clone there own organ. so that there is a lower chance of your body rejecting the transplant
I agree with bioengineering. Scientists can combine DNA to make a really cool plant or a new kind of animal or even find a cure for cancer and other major diseases out there. They can make weird cross-breed animals like a cat-dog or a fish-bird. Bioengineering is really cool and it can make new things that humans never even thought of.
ReplyDeleteI am against bioengineering. Yeah, it's just making things we already have better. But what is the need? Yes, we all love to get new things, but do you like getting something that's combined like two different animals, flavors ect. Thinking of eatting artifical food is kinda gross. It might be cool to see a animal that lived 1000's of years ago, but it can lead to bad things. The animals can be mean, and kill people. Then everyone will want something different a demand for different things every week. The biggest problem is why isn't anyone just happy for what they have? Everyone needs something better! Bioengineering is going against gods creations, and making new bioengineering creations.
ReplyDeletei do agree with boienginerring, people today have the ability to make our world a better place. This can make our world a better place. We can help the foodchain, we can keep the extinction level low. Things can only get better. People say that God gave us these animals and he wouldnt want us to change it. But yet God gave us humans and gave us our own special abilities and we are putting our abilities to use and trying to make our world a better place. Bioenginerring can lead into a better life for the unfortunate, animals, and the future. We can only proceed, and if we proceed into bioengineering our world will become better.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with bioengineering for a couple of reasons. First, if God gave us all of these creatures, wouldn't he like us to make some for ourselves? I think that this would be great because we could create new animals, like pigs that really can fly! Second, if it wasn't for bioengineering, some of the food we have today would be nonexistant. Lastly, bioengineering has helped to create cures for some diseases, and vaccines for preventing them. Without the use of bioengineering, some of us might not be here. That's why i agree with bioengineering.
ReplyDeleteI agree with bioengineering because i believe it would have benefits for the human race. With bioengineering, you can create a cure for serious diseases such as cancer, or you can create a super plant to help feed the hungry quickly. Bioengineering can also help you learn about the past. Bioengineering can be used to create an animal that has become extinct. By doing this, we can learn why the animal became extinct and we can stop that from happening to us. That is why I agree with bioengineering.
