This is a bit of a ship of theseus discussion, I think. Will these be moa, or something like an Emu or Ostrich that has been genetically edited to resemble a Moa?

What is the cutoff point where you can consider something to be one species or another?

Hey uhh.. I don't know if these guys have ever seen jurrasic park, but maybe we should start a go fund me to get them movie tickets before we have the moa-b roaming the streets.

Finally, we may solve the age old question "The Moa or the egg?"
