I once watched a program on television about making real life Jurassic Park. Apparently, they found out that birds have parts of their DNA switched off and mutant birds have some of these genes turned on making them have more vertebrate in their tails or grow bumps on their beak that were suppose to be teeth. Apparently, they can turn on some of these genes and recreate a dinosaur. What you think.

I don't think they'd be able to 'recreate a dinosaur'. I mean, come on. It's a freaking bird.

By some definitions, a bird is already a dinosaur.

Only silly definitions. I will not accept a dinosaur without teeth.

that would be both fucking awesome and devastating if the thing got out of control.

We already have dinosaur DNA, cell and soft-tissue samples. "Making" living creatures isn't a simple process otherwise we'd probably have hundreds of species in special places designed to keep them safe and alive.
