Seems possible (as in the movie), what do you think in reality?

Absolutely not. During the course of my Biology degree, I asked my DNA Analysis lecturer about this!!
DNA simply cannot survive intact for that period of time, fossilised or otherwise.
Even if we did manage to extract DNA from a fossil sample, it would not be intact and complete - it's just not possible. And the whole thing of 'filling in the gaps with frog DNA' is rubbish. For a start, we have no way of knowing where the gaps are, and what genes are meant to be present. We have no frame of reference for what Dino DNA should look like, so there's no way we could just 'piece it together'. We don't even know what all of the human genes do yet, and we have lots of samples of human DNA!!
While it's a fantastic film, and a great idea, I'm afraid it is science fiction.

I agree with you. It seems possible. But, the scientists worldwide are more interested in research regarding human disease.s Besides that, the fossilised DNA is very old, so, the rate of success might be low. Take a look at Dolly, they used an old DNA and this made the sheep had ageing diseases. The same situations might happen to the re-created Dinosaurs. Eventhough the scientists successfully recreate them, they might not live longer because the source of genetic material is not good enough.

Anything's possible, you never know when its a reality. The logic used in the movie is good enough; except for the assumption that DNA fragments can be replaced easily during re-construction; by replacing similar DNA code.
However, human Genome itself took a few years just for mapping; it shall be quite difficult to first have the complete mappings of Dinos itself.

When we consider the speed of scientific technology at present, more ideas of advanced Jurassic Parks would certainly may come into reality. But the accumulation of destructive weapons that every country is possessing may not fulfil this dream come true. The present civilization is dancing on the floor of poisonous pins and needles. The threat of wiping off of all our achievements is the deep conceern of the day. God, save us!

No, i think of which would be an immoral element to do. What do all of us know? in all probability situations on earth now would possibly no longer help the existence of a dinosaur. As shown by capacity of the sheep, Dolly, clones are imperfect copies at terrific. undesirable Dolly suffered a great type of ills previously she replaced into finally placed down.

Cloning is really hard thing to do with full DNA intact. With partial genome like they do in movie is just impossible. If people know enough to do that they can make any organism they desire from scratch.

If it's a fossil no that means it has been turned to stone. However they are in the process of trying to clone mammoths, as their dna is usually frozen and mostly intact.

it is only possible, if we get the DNA .BUT it is a complicated process . not that much easy as shown in JUrassic park

acctually it is not possible practically
in film it is only shown like that
even i had this question in my mind a yr back
den i got it cleared by the scientist itself
so it is not possible

Yes, now we have the ability to clone, maybe they just need the bones to clone a new dinosaur ^_^
