Researchers extract DNA from insects embedded in resin

For the first time, Senckenberg scientist Mónica Solórzano-Kraemer, together with lead authors David Peris and Kathrin Janssen of the University of Bonn and additional colleagues from Spain and Norway, successfully extracted genetic material from insects that were embedded in six- and...

"However, we have no intention of raising dinosaurs," says Dr. Mónica Solórzano-Kraemer of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum. "Rather, our current study is a structured attempt to determine how long the DNA of insects enclosed in resinous materials can be preserved." (in order to raise dinosaurs in the future)

Showed this to my brother, and he(rather apropos, IMO) said the Chinese would use this to raise dinosaurs, just so they would have new creatures to eat.

No, because ground up dinosaur claws is an ancient Chinese folk medicine cure for erectile dysfunction.

No no no, if you use any other part of the animal except that required for Ancient Chinese Folk Medicine the Ancient Chinese Folk Medicine will not work.

And if you object to the slaughter of endangered dinosaurs because of Ancient Chinese Folk Medicine you are a racist sinophobe.

I am just gonna send in the Marines now to arrest those scientists and company heads. We all know what will happen if they are left to their own devices.

Are they relly endangered when you can produce them in job lots?
