I have always wondered what Dodo tasted like.
Damn thing nearly caused Fred to crash when he was taking flying lessons.
Can you say ‘scam’..
When are they going to do the Cave Bears, Short Faced Bears, and the Smilodons?
As I understand it, it went extinct because it was tasty but easy to hunt.

De-die de dodo?
Why can’t they resurrect something cool like a T. Rex? You can’t feed liberals to a dodo.
Have the been successful on anything yet? Or still in the almost there phase?
How about passenger pigeons?
In case anyone didn’t catch the term, a thylacine is also known as a Tasmanian tiger or Marsupial wolf.
I can’t wait for the moa when they bring it back. The chicken might eat you.
They could bring back something like the Velociraptors. Maybe put them on an island somewhere. Nothing could go wrong with that!
150 million and you’ll get a Rhode Island Red, spray painted and some super glue added parts.
Rita Hayworth would be nicer.
I want a pet Thylacine.
Was this bird considered necessary or even useful to its environment?

But that's the easy part. The reality is that for a fertilized egg to be viable and grow, the entire complex suite of cellular structures and hundreds of proteins in the cell need to be just what is needed to read the DNA and then begin dividing and building the Dodo embryo.
As an analogy, consider walking into a Ford pick-up truck plant with all the blueprints needed to build a Toyota Tundra pick-up. Even though the vehicles are very similar, the reality is that because of innumerable differences in the parts used, the assembly line equipment and so on, an effort to build the Tundra would very quickly bog down, assembly would halt and the effort would fail. In like manner a Dodo embryo will fail to develop without precisely the right suite of proteins matched to the DNA.
Not saying it's absolutely impossible (particularly if closely related living species are available), but there's a LOT more challenge to this than meets the eye.
“Innovations in synthetic biology will not only improve the state of the planet, but also further the U.S. high tech advantage.”
Sure, that’s what they always say. Then 30 minutes later we’re all fleeing from 50 foot dodos who can crush automobiles in their beaks.
