Can dinosaurs be brought back to life?

In the Jurassic Park movies dinosaurs are brought back to life and shown in some type of an amusement park.  Can this actually happen today?  Does the technology exist to even attempt at making this happen?  Imagine if Jurassic Park could be made into a real amusement park, if this could be made possible everyone would go pay to see real life dinosaurs.

Theoretically dinosaurs could be brought back to life if useable DNA was found and safely transported to a lab.  The major problem in cloning is finding DNA.  Dinosaurs went 20071217_dinoextinct about 65million years ago and its almost impossible to find DNA that old.  One of the only ways to find useable DNA is in mosquitos preserved in amber that were covered while having dinosaur blood inside of t
hem.(DNA)  Other then trying to find a useable mosquito, trying to separate the mosquito DNA from the dinosaur DNA is extremely difficult.  Also, dinosaur cells are needed to help with the cloning, a nucleus from a cell must be used in the cloning process and there are no dinosaur cells that have been found.

If dinosaurs cells and DNA was found they could be brought back to life.  Where would the dinosaurs be held or looked after?  Trying to find a place remote and big enough would be a monumental job to figure out.  Having dinosaurs being brought to life would probably be a really bad and expensive idea.  Overall even though I think it would be awesome cloning dinosaurs is not feasible or a good idea.

    I think the message the Jurassic Park movies try and get across is that we, as humans, are not meant to create these ancient creatures that have been wiped off the planet. It is survival or the fittest, and the dinosaurs didn’t make the cut. However, if there is a will there is a way…and vice versa. If it was possible, I’m positive there would be people dedicating their lives to it. As you said the difficulty is finding the dinosaur DNA which is what this article says is the problem. As for the location, I doubt finding an isolated island for a wealthy investor to buy wouldn’t be too challenging.
