Speech about Jurassic Park franchise

 All of the movies have the following as a central theme:

focusing on the same topic of dinosaurs, cloning, and genetic
engineering
 Stephen Spielberg’s 1993 “Jurassic Park,” based on Michael
Crichton’s 1990 novel,did not shy away from showcasing the
dangers of free entreprenurship and irresposible innovation
 Scientists at the time were getting closer to being able to
manipulate DNA in the real world, and both book and movie
captured emerging concerns that playing God with nature’s
genetic code could lead to devastating consequences.
 famously captured by Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum,
as he declared, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with
whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
 introduced the concept of "Site B," a secret location where
the dinosaurs were bred and raised before being transported to
the main park. The movie raised ethical questions about the
treatment of animals in captivity and the responsibility of
humans towards them.
 The movie introduced a new genetically-engineered dinosaur, the Spinosaurus, and
showed the dangers of tampering with the natural order. The ethical aim was to
highlight the importance of preserving the environment and respecting the balance
of nature.

 The creation of the I- Rex should have stopped miles before it's creation
 not accurately knowing but simply predicting it's behaviour was a huge mistake
 Another main point is the treatment of animals; one the main protoganist (Claire Dearing)
see's them as numbers on a spreadsheet and when the guy

 Discrimination based on genetics: In Gattaca, individuals are judged and

discriminated against based on their genetic makeup. This leads to a society
where only those with "superior" genes are given opportunities and access to
resources, while those with "inferior" genes are relegated to menial jobs and
lower social status. This raises ethical concerns about fairness, justice, and
equality.
 Genetic determinism: Gattaca presents a world where genetics is seen as the
sole determinant of an individual's potential and success. This ignores the role
of environmental factors and personal agency in shaping a person's life. This
raises ethical concerns about determinism, free will, and the nature vs. nurture
debate.
 Genetic modification and eugenics: The film also raises ethical concerns about
the use of genetic modification and eugenics. In Gattaca, parents are
encouraged to choose the genetic makeup of their children to ensure they
have the best possible genes. This raises ethical concerns about the ethics of
altering the genetic makeup of future generations, and the potential for
unintended consequences.
  Invasion of privacy: In Gattaca, genetic testing is a routine part of life, and
individuals are constantly monitored for their genetic traits. This raises ethical
concerns about privacy and the right to control one's own genetic
information.
 Dehumanization: The emphasis on genetics in Gattaca leads to a
dehumanization of individuals, reducing them to their genetic code rather
than recognizing their inherent worth and dignity as human beings. This raises
ethical concerns about the value of human life and the danger of reducing
individuals to mere objects or commodities.

Overall, Gattaca raises important ethical concerns about the use and abuse of genetic
technologies and the potential consequences of a society that values genetic
superiority over human diversity and individuality.

Jurassic Park is a modern facility with computer-controlled door

locks and a centrally administrated computer system for the doors,
windows, heating and cooling, and the laboratories, as well as the
electric perimeter fences and the various dinosaur enclosures. As
seen in the film, these processes break down because of some of the
employees’ choices and technical glitches. Technical faults occurred
several times to the point that it seemed to be a subtle comment by
the screenwriters about the dangers of overreliance on technology.
The dinosaurs themselves are portrayed as intelligent and mostly
dangerous. However, the herbivorous dinosaurs, such as the the
Brontosaurus and Ankylosaurus, were peaceful and portrayed as non-
threatening. This juxtaposition with the other dinosaurs is
important for discussion. One of the characters in the first film,
for example, was portrayed as unethical and an antagonist to both
the other employees and to the dinosaurs. The genetically modified
velociraptor—in the fil (Brown)m, either a genetically
modified Velociraptor mongoliensis or Velociraptor osmolskae (Godefroit et al.,
2008; National Geographic, 2008)—was portrayed as intelligent and
particularly ferocious in its reaction to certain employees of the
Park.
