THE JURASSIC PARK SYNDROM
At the dawn of the new millennium many fall victim for what I'd like to call the Jurassic Park Syndrom. New inventions overwhelm us every day in an ever increasing speed. Over 90% of all communication and exchange of information, that has ever taken place between human beings, has taken place during the last five decades of the last century. This development has undeniably given us great advantages and responsibilities.
Gene technology gives us the possibility to clone animals, so what is the problem if a species or two go extinct. Cant we just clone them back into existence? Maybe so, but can we teach a dog to bark and to behave like a canine, I doubt, and where would this animals live, would we clone their natural habitat back into existence too? Maybe so.
Don't fall victim to the Jurassic Park Syndrom, we are not omnipotent, and despite our new innovations we are just human beeings.
Honestly, who would like to live in a world, where all so called nature is plastered with signs saying DONT STEP ON THE GRASS. The choice is ours, mine, Your's.
