Critics argue that efforts to revive extinct animals could divert attention and funding away from protecting species currently facing extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and human activity.
Researchers involved in the project reportedly emphasized that the artificial egg system is still in early developmental stages and would require years of further testing before being applied to larger or more complex species.
Even so, the successful hatching of living chicks from artificial eggs is already being described by many scientists as a historic achievement in modern biology.
