Colossal Biosciences aims to develop this technology to genetically modify living birds to resemble extinct species, such as New Zealand's South Island giant moa. Independent scientists acknowledge the technological achievement but argue that the system is an artificial eggshell rather than a complete artificial egg, as it lacks other vital components. Critics also contend that the concept of reviving extinct creatures is largely unachievable and that producing chicks from artificial vessels is not a new innovation. Concerns were raised regarding the post-birth survival of de-extinct animals in modern environments, with some experts suggesting that efforts should instead focus on preserving currently endangered species.
