phone +64-25-998674 Dr. Hill leads a team that is interested in "ancient
DNA." Her team has recently investigated cloning the Moa, an extinct bird.
This work has commercial implications as the giant Moa was a very large
bird (3 meters high). If its growth hormone gene could be introduced into
a bird bred for meat, such as the ostrich, then the product might be a larger
bird that efficiently converts food to meat.
Mr. Rupene Waaka Ngati Huia The Ngati Huia
are a hapu that has a unique relationship with the Huia. They tried very
hard to save the bird from extinction and have a special perspective on
the ethical and moral issues surrounding any consideration of its cloning.
