[Colossal Biosciences] has raised over $600 million and carries a valuation exceeding $10 billion.

You're not making a return on that from selling velocirator skeletons. Nor is that sort of money in dodos and maos.

You can have that kind of revenue cloning cows and horses. Easily so. A bit harder for chickens, but it's possible.

But I fail to see how cloning humans would get it.

It's been a while since high school biology class, and I can't ask my sister right now, but I don't think humans are born in eggs. What does an artificial egg hatching chickens have to do with cloning humans?

I mean, if you can make a velociraptor, the skeleton isn't the bit you'll make money on.
