520    Twenty-one philosophers join forces to investigate the 
       implications of the Jurassic Park franchise for our lives,
       our values, and our future. Human beings live and thrive 
       by modifying nature, but when do the risks of changing 
       nature outweigh the likely benefits? If it's true 
       that?Life will find a way," should we view any modified or
       newly reconstituted life as a hazard?The new scientific 
       information we could gain by bringing back T. Rex or other
       dinosaurs is immense, including greater understanding of 
       biology leading to immeasurable medical benefits, but 
       should we choose to.
