Don’t see why not. They did it in Jurassic Park.

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago people were saying we could never, ever in a million years successfully clone an animal, either.

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.

A pile of crap was reversed engineered and we got Zero.

Your so-called creation ‘scientists’ conveniently ignored the fact that birds are descended from dinosaurs and that most of the dinos were in fact warm blooded themselves.

But, but dinosaurs pooped a lot, didn’t they? What about their carbon footprint?

Quite possibly. The techniques of gene fabrication are getting better all the time. All they need is a template, sufficient time and money to assemble the DNA, and then inject the DNA into a suitable reptile cell. Clone, and presto! Dinosaur!

They’re walking the earth right now. Birds. Can’t go outside without them sqwauking something or other. It’s pretty well conclusive now that birds are dinosaur’s that survived whatever killed the rest of them. Thank God for the Chicken Dinosaur. Kentucky Fried Chickensourus, with those great bisquits.

Serious scientists are already discussing and ruling out sythesis embryonics as patently unethical avenues of study.
http://2008.igem.org/Team:KULeuven/Ethics/Concerns/Concerns
“The film Jurassic Park exemplifies this whole discussion. The scientists in the movie are so focused on the question if they were able to clone dinosaurs, that no one asked whether they should be doing it! This should learn us a lesson and make us ask ourselves whether we should be practicing synthetic biology at all. Other questions follow on this one: is synthetic biology inherently wrong? If we act out of a deep respect for nature and life, doesn’t this require that we let go synthetic biology? “

Whatever the answer, I have absolute confidence that the dim bulbs at ICR will be wrong about it.
