If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

You need to go watch Jurassic Park again… My answer is NONE. Simple and straight to the point. My reason involves the following two main arguments:

1. Don’t mess with nature: Michael Crichton brilliantly retells, in my view, the classic story Frankenstein with a modern twist, highlighting the immorality and unintended consequences of scientific hubris for a profit. There is a good reason dinosaurs are extinct, and we should let them be…
2. Scary: Natural history museums meticulously put together dinosaur bones in their exhibitions for one good reason – to scare the snot out of you. This is a reminder that we really don’t want these creatures in our world. Thank you.

They may seem cute (the little tiny ones), and fascinating, but there is no way anything good could happen if T-Rex was in my neighborhood.

Why post about dinosaurs on a health webpage? Because it just ain’t healthy to live in any world with velociraptors.
