The DNA molecule was so old that its evolution had essentially finished more than two billion years ago.

(0 Reviews)

The DNA molecule has undergone extensive evolution, reaching a point over two billion years ago where its fundamental structure and function were established. This suggests that the components of life have been remarkably stable through eons of time, highlighting the efficiency and resilience of DNA as the blueprint for living organisms. Its ancient lineage underscores the continuity of life on Earth and the intricate processes that have shaped biological systems throughout history.

In Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park," the notion of such an ancient DNA raises profound questions about genetic manipulation and the ethics of reviving extinct species. The story illustrates the consequences of tampering with nature and the dangers inherent in humans’ attempts to control the very fabric of life. By resurrecting ancient DNA, the characters confront not only scientific possibilities but also moral dilemmas, emphasizing the timelessness of these biological elements.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
