Some interesting quotes...

“What child won't want a little dinosaur as a pet? A little patented animal for their own. InGen will sell millions of them. And InGen will engineer them so that these pet dinosaurs can only eat InGen pet food...“

“The idea of living creatures being numbered like software, being subject to updates and revisions, troubled Grant. He could not exactly say why—it was too new a thought—but he was instinctively uneasy about it. They were, after all, living creatures.”

“Scientists are actually preoccupied with accomplishment. So they are focused on whether they can do something. They never stop to ask if they should do something. They conveniently define such considerations as pointless. If they don't do it, someone else will. Discovery, they believe, is inevitable. So they just try to do it first.”
