Not to mention the logistical hurdles of getting funding, ethical approval, and suitable surrogates. Bringing back dinosaurs isn't impossible, but it's pretty damn hard and they would never be exactly the same.

The original book largely addressed this, though ethical issues weren't brought up past Hammond choosing theme parks as a moneymaker because nobody needs them: first they had to import a metric crapload of amber to get any sort of genomes at all and even then they were plugging the holes with anything and everything that looked like the genes might fit(the geneticist had to look to see they'd used DNA from the infamous frogs, rather than them being the sole source). Even then what they got wasn't what they wanted(admittedly, it's mostly implied that it's because paleontologists got it wrong), so they kept tweaking.

Which is almost exactly how reality would go down if we managed to pull it off - though hopefully without having them ruin two parks on us(do they ever address any of that in Jurassic World or do they just forget everything starting just after the pterodactyls flew off into the sunset?).
