Anyone that has seen Jurassic Park knows this famous line. Jeff Goldblum’s character was pointing out the lost art of ethical decision-making in the sciences. He was basically saying that just because we can create dinosaurs from their fossilized DNA that could potentially eat us, doesn’t mean we should. And not to spoil the film for you (Who am I kidding? If you haven’t seen it yet, than that is on you.), but he was right. The dinosaurs were “chosen” for distinction for a reason, and maybe we should’ve left it at that.
