Is this a company and not a research lab doing this? What's the economic imperative for funding this?
A velociraptor skeleton is worth around $10 million. Hatch a few dozen per year and you’re making great money.
Maybe short term, pumping out chickens. For food.
Long term, maybe chickens are just the test case and they will pump out human slaves. Replicants.
They're a foundation working on "de extinction". They want to hatch dodos.
