This technology may not be used to bring back dinos, but if it is used
without caution it could cause some serious problems.  What? I do not really
know.  I DO know that tampering with nature can be dangerous.  The
characters in Jurassic Park thought they had control over everything, and
look what went wrong!  It's just an example.  Being able to bring back
animals that humans caused to go extinct would be great, as long as it is
done with caution.  Naturally extinct animals should be left alone (that was
God's choice).  Just my 2.
