So I just watched a series on the Discovery channel (yeah, it may have been an old show, I don't know).
But basically they were saying that birds and dinosaurs have a lot of the same genes, so-much-so that they were able to alter bits of DNA so that birds would grow tails, teeth, and even scales (at least in embryonic states).
They said it would be possible someday to alter just the right genes that it would de-evolutionize a newborn bird to the point that it would actually develop into a dinosaur. One of the people said the bird they would use is the Emu.
So do you think this is really possible? If so, SHOULD they do it?
