Can We Really Reverse-Engineer a Dinosaur?
by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D., and Brian Thomas, M.S.*
A recent TV show has proposed the possibility that dinosaurs may walk the earth again someday as a result of man’s ingenuity.
Dinosaurs: Return to Life, which aired on the Discovery Channel,[1] included commentary from renowned dinosaur paleontologist Jack Horner and an assortment of molecular biologists who are studying bird development. Combined with the recent release of Horner’s book How to Build a Dinosaur, an interest has been sparked in the possible development of some type of “Jurassic Park” scenario in which a dinosaur-like creature could be developed using the genome of a...

I believe the question is stated incorrectly.
Should we re-engineer a dinosaur?
Given our technological capabilities at present, we could probably make some good progress to doing this, and we would likely learn quite a bit about the process. But this does lead us to some very unstable moral and ethical ground.
When in doubt, just feed the T-Rex a lawyer.

Judging by what their descendants taste like, I would guess some of them tasted like chicken.
