Similarly, on The Jordan Harbinger Show, Ben Lamm and the host drew parallels between modern de-extinction work, genetic engineering, and Jurassic Park. The guest highlighted that Crichton's book did an exceptional job of showcasing and educating the public about genetic engineering, and noted that scientific research by figures like George Church is referenced within the narrative.
