As long as they don't try and clone Jeff Goldblum.
Now THAT would be scary.

Cool, reproduce them enmass ...then eat them.

Dinosaur, ...tastes like chicken.

You got that right! Goldblum has already cloned his performance in every movie he did.

This came up a few years ago and I thought, what a great way to clear Iraq of AQ. Drop about 20K engineered raptors into the streets hungry only for people having metal on their person.

Woudn’t be too hard to convert raptors into seek and destroy drones.

[Impy]

Awesome.

Yeah, Jurassic Park is not supposed to be saying 'Hey, look at this fun idea!'. But, scientists being for the most part geeks/nerds/whatever (like the astronomers who describe everything they find in Star Wars terms, or the engineers who compare everything they're trying to build to superheroes), they won't say 'oh, let's clone one little vegetarian dinosaur who won't try to eat us', it'll be more along the lines of 'We can clone dinosaurs? Let's make a T-Rex! I've wanted one since I was four years old... oh, let's make raptors, too, that would be SO awesome!'
