Jurassic Park Crichton

Some imaginative writers have described scenarios in which researchers not only study the past, they recreate it. In Michael Crichton s 1990 novel Jurassic Park, scientists estabUsh a dinosaur park that resembles the Jurassic era by recreating dinosaurs based on ancient DNA sources. 

Despite the difficulties that we may have in determining exactly what death is, it is inevitable for complex BU. Prokaryotic bacteria that reproduce by binary fission may be said to be able to live forever, and so can genetic material, but all other cells and tissues inevitably die (Jurassic Park, notwithstanding [Crichton, 1990]). And once death occurs, it cannot be reversed. This is a simple statement, one that may be readily apparent, but one that is profound nevertheless. 

Chaos theory gained popular attention after the 1993 film adaptation of Michael Crichton s novel Jurassic Park (1990). In the film, ascientist played by Jeff Goldblum evokes chaos theory to warn that complex systems are impossible to control. 

Genetic engineering techniques could resurrect life for extinct animals, such as mammoths, or extinct human species, such as Neanderthals. Although farming DNA that is viable for such use is difficult, theoretically such feats could be accomplished. A film that was based on this possibility is Jurassic Park (1993), based on a novel of the same name hy Michael Crichton.

Student Annotation In Michael Crichton s 1990 novel Jurassic Park, frog DNA was used to repair ancient dinosaur DNA to facilitate cloning of the extinct animals. In the story, the scientists believed the cloned animals could not reproduce because the population was designed to be entirely female. However, some of the dinosaurs became males—something known to occur in the frogs from which the DNA for repair had been taken—and the population of dinosaurs grew out of control.
