Believing that you do have control when you absolutely do not. That’s basically the business strategy of casinos. Sorry. Not "basically." That’s the business strategy of casinos. Not saying we can’t all have a little fun and play every once in a while.  But let’s call a spade a spade. Pun intended, thank you very much.   Millions of Years-Old Dinosaur DNA to Help Build World-First T-Rex Leather Handbag They made some T-Rex leather from lab-grown DNA that mimics these extinct beasts. Which, okay, neat. But it begs a follow-up question: Is there an ethical debate to be had over lab-grown DNA? Like ancient T-Rex leather? Fine, sure, have fun. But what’s next?
