Civilian against Cloning

What's the big deal? Who are we trying to kid? Here we are talking about bringing back the largest animals that ever walked the planet, including T. rex. Doesn't planet Earth already have enough problems--human overpopulation, famine, disease, poverty, pollution, species extinctions, you name it. We can't even feed all the starving people in the world, never mind a bunch of cloned dinosaurs. What kind of world will we be leaving our children if in addition to everything else they have to deal with extinct forms of life brought back from the past? Didn't Newsweek say that 60 million years separates the dinosaur age from the human age? Think of all the changes that must have taken place in that amount of time. It doesn't seem like a good idea to fool around with nature on that scale. So they tell us the dinosaurs would be caged in zoos and big animal parks. What about the reports from Florida last year of lions and tigers escaping from that zoo? It's only a matter of time before some smart dinosaur finds a way to sneak out of the zoo, and then imagine what would happen. There must be some mad scientists somewhere out to control the world. You plan to say loudly and clearly in court next week that under no circumstances should dinosaur cloning be allowed!
