Jurassic World
Yesterday I watched a movie called Jurassic World. It was a really interesting movie, and sparked a lot of thoughts for me.
In the movie, two kids visit their aunt, who works at Jurassic World. Then, the newest research project, a huge hybrid T-Rex, breaks out of its cage and rampages through the park. Narrowly escaping the dinosaur, the kids run back to the park, and the dinosaur comes after them. Lots of people die, and the kids find themselves stranded on the island with their aunt and a Navy veteran. They set a dinosaur that is loyal to them loose, which kills the T-Rex. Then, the dinosaur leaves and they leave the island.
This movie made me think a lot. If people could create dinosaurs, and not only create, but modify them, then what else could they do? If they cloned people, who would the people be? What would their relationship to their gene donor be? What would their rights be? Would they belong to the gene donor? Also, I thought about an idea that was expressed many times in the movie, using dinosaurs for war. Many people in the movie said it would spare a lot of lives. But what about the dinosaurs? How do you make sure they are loyal? If you make them to be able to evade radar and human detection systems, how do you know it won't come right back at you and eat you up?
Like many other sci-fi movies, this one sparked a lot of ideas about what would happen in the future.
