After watching too
much Jurrasic World, the weird wonky and very Hollywood sequel to the
Jurrasic Park movies there is a plot point that has been bothering me
quite a lot. Be wary spoilers ahead, if such a story can be spoiled.
Regardless science brought dinosaurs back and a rich man built a park
with dinosaurs with the backing of a shady mega corporation. Then
things goes wrong because an underpaid employee is bribed into
stealing research samples and shuts down the security system during a
typhoon. Years later the part is rebuilt, and reopened elsewhere on
the island and became successful. However the oversized featherless
birds did not make all the money in the world, so evil rich man
decides to make a better raptor, naturally somethings goes wrong and
everything goes to hell in a hand basket, again.
The movie after that
deals with fetching dinosaurs and ferrying them of the island as the
volcano is going critical, instead of saving them, evil corporate
greed man decides to do the dumb money scheme built around selling
the dinosaurs to the highest bidder, then make a super raptor again
to use for war purposes. Which is very silly all things considered,
because drones and tanks are ultimately better and less squishy.
Without the ability to go berserk and tear allies to shreds. In the
end it leads to an epic fight between an intelligent emphatic raptor
and the enraged super raptor, the good guys wins and the evil bad
business man die along with most of the other guests at the
locations, plus some unforgettable scientists. Heroes saves the day
and the handsome white hunter and raptor trainer survives to be
badass in an inevitable sequel. Ranting and poor plot summary of
Jurrasic world aside.
Imagine this;
Instead of making genetically engineered war machines and park
attractions, there is clearly an untapped market for huge slabs of
sizzling tyrannosaurus steaks, people would pay through their nose to
eat this exclusive meat. Not to mention being able to breed creatures
at that impressive size could do wonders for the meat industry. Since
being able to grow anything of that mass is very impressive. Thus I
can only conclude it is possible to grow unintelligent meat made from
cultivated cells, bypassing the whole ethical dilemma of taking a
life and you know co2 pollution and excessive energy usage.
Yes, I do believe it
would work better as a plot point to serve dinosaur burgers, than to
sell a dinosaur soldier.
