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.

Yes, yes. Dodos. The endgame of this is Dodos.
Yes, first they'll focus on normal dodos. Then, they'll try very large Dodos. After that, very, very ancient dodos. Followed by island dodos. Then they might set up a whole island that people can visit, full of all kinds of dodos. They'll do tours with self driving cars so people can see all the dodos from a safe distance.

#24Is 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.
You're not making a return on that from selling velocirator skeletons. Nor is that sort of money in dodos and maos.
Human cloning on the other hand...

#29I've just started listening to the book "Brave new world" (no spoilers please!) and this is literally how the book begins (but with humans) - what could possibly go wrong!
Unfortunately, it seems like the former may be enabling the latter, so we may end up with a “porque no los dos” situation.
