Some people say Jurassic Park warns us about the dangers of science and how quickly it can go too far when humans try to play god. However, others believe it warns us about the dangers of capitalism, since the science in the story is solid—they set out to clone animals that have been extinct for millions of years, and they succeed. I tend to agree with the latter. Think about it—they managed to clone dinosaurs, and before anyone even heard about this scientific breakthrough, their first thought is, "How do we make money off of this?"

I'm sure several non-profit scientific organizations would have gladly backed the research and allowed Hammond and his team to keep cloning as many dinosaurs as they wanted, as long as it was done on a remote island, far from civilization. The "Jurassic" part was fine, but the "Park" part was absolutely insane.
