What's the business model?

Well to engineer a dodo, another bird has to lay the egg. If that bird is a pigeon, the pigeon needs to modified to be bigger first. Do y'all see where I'm going with this?

Engineering animals is a touchy subject in Congress, but these scientists have latched on a topic that almost no one is opposed to.

The fact that they are attracting money in an area no one will touch should inspire hope.

I have little doubt they will succeed with at least one species. Speaking as someone who created dozens of transgenic animals during a Bio PhD!
