A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.

First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.

And that's just the warm-up.

Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.

No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.

De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

Why bring back a wooly mammoth during a warm period?
They NEED cold!
Bring back birds and dinosaurs!

They took already fertilized eggs and dumped them into 3D printed cups. Look it up.
No hens? Whoever wrote that is a fucking moron.

@RoyHinkley Lol! Thanks. That is exactly what I thought was happening.

The end game is likely designer humans for organ donors and servitude. And the Moa is but a denucleated ostrich egg away.

May the proprietary knowledge be lost for the good of mankind.
