Most of it is a retelling of the project. It does solve the tooth issue:

“We can do the teeth already, but birds have lost the enamel gene,” Horner said. “To make real teeth, we are going to have to do some transgenics. We are going to have to add the enamel back. This isn’t actually a very big deal to get done.”

I wonder if Turkeys and Ostriches still have the gene. Their chromosome 4 is still intact, unlike in chickens.

Some moaning by Harris with appeal to fear fallacies.

I like the cost part:

“I’d be really surprised if we don’t have them in 10 years,” Horner said. “If we’re lucky, we’ll have them in five years. [We wouldn’t need] more than $5 million. If we did have $5 million, then we would have three different labs working on it.”

For less than the cost of the special effects for any of the “Jurassic Park” films, Jack Horner just might succeed in making a living dinosaur.
