This is really silly.

To my knowledge, while we may have the ability to sequence DNA, we are a looonngg way away from being able to assemble functional DNA artificially.

Haven’t done it with the simplest organisms yet, far less something as complex as a human.

Shouldn’t we start with bacteria or something?

I'll vote no on that.

Or maybe just let the Good Lord take care of such things.

Nobody want to see that in a zoo. We should skip right ahead to Neanderthals, mammoths, and T-rex’s.

If we can get four or five breeding pairs of T-rexes in Texas, they’ll start a hunting season for ‘em. In thinking a .460 Weatherby mag, or a Barrett 50 bmg rifle. But if you can’t shoot it offhand, that kinda seems unsportsmanlike. (i think)
