Advancements in DNA cloning and recreation technology

I was up really late last night watching the National Geographic channel, and some other stuff the first thing that I watched was a show called Taboo.

The topic on Taboo last night was sacrificial animal slaughter. I thought that places like India and and Africa would be big on this but to my surprise most of it was actually illegal to some extent in those countries. It was actually the more "civil-ish" places like Finland and Southern Korea. The biography in Finland was about them herding beluga wales close to the shore and then severing their spine cutting off blood to the brain and opening the jugular artery. The ocean was blood red, it was disgusting to watch but I couldn't tear my self away. They die for no purpose. They can't eat all of the meat of the animals they kill. And countries won't buy it from them because of the inhumane way of killing them and the fact that the water is contaminated by 64% mercury. Despite constant warnings they continue to eat it claiming it is their right.


Southern Korea runs along the same lines goats, lambs, calfs, and even animals most people consider life compainions like dogs and cats. I tried to think about it in a way that they see it. They try not to grow emotional attachments to animals, so dogs are just another animal like would be a fish. No one thinks twice about killing fish do they?


Another program I watched was called "Dinosaur's being brought back" or something like that.
It was about scientist discovering dinosaur bones are made by the same type of membraines and blood vessels. The defossilised bone is stretchy and translucent- like. They searched for DNA somewhere from a dinosaur because they now knew how to bring one back. They eventually found some in a misquito that was frosen in tree amber. (Yes I am serious, just like in jurassic park.) So they added it to a bird egg. . .After an incubation period. The x-rays showed the fetus was starting to turn more monster than bird. Growing dinosaur teeth and visibly hardend skin, scales almost. The baby died before it was born.


The next try delivered similar results. Except the dinosaur fetus progressed more this time and was eventually removed from the egg as it was to big but making no attemps to get out. It was alive around one minute. The next try they used an ostrich egg so it would have more room to grow and it did way better this time and still has not been hatched but has been in the egg 5 months now, but it is still alive.


Comment and tell me what YOU think about all this, I'm curious.
