But holy crap, this guy is also rebuilding the titanic. It seems he has a thing for ideas that have gone horribly wrong in the past (whether fictional or not)

Extreme Tech's Ryan Whitwan warns dinosaur lovers not to get their hopes up.

"Assuming that a benevolent billionaire had magical, perfect dinosaur DNA, we don't even have the living cells we'd need to birth a dinosaur," he explains. "It's not a question of technology, or of funding... We're never going to return dinosaurs or any other ancient creature to Earth because their genes are long gone."

Ridiculous

except if you watch that TED, you know that what is outlined in the article is currently just about impossible and declining in possibility due to the lack of DNA samples from that age

even in bone samples where they found capillaries and osteocytes, they were not able to extract anything close to DNA. also Roner is one of the coolest people ever. love that guy's talks

Yeah, his one about how dinosaurs changed as they aged was crazy, brew my mind. his idea of a mutant chicken is pretty interesting. The creepiest thing about that ted was that there is a stage in the chicken embryonic stage where it has a tail and teeth, evolution is just crazy.
