What would the business model look like for doing this?
I spend $20M on lab time and experts to clone a dodo... Then I lease that dodo to zoos for $2000/day... and in the dodo's lifespan I will never make a profit...
Or I spend $30M to clone two dodo's - one male, and one female. I then breed 100 more dodo's from that initial pair. I then rent them to zoos around the world, at perhaps $200/day (lower price because there is no exclusivity anymore). Even this plan is dubiously profitable, considering my rental income will only slowly ramp up over 20 years as dodos are born...
