There are at least two startups working on this idea. eg http://synbiobeta.com/pembient-bioengineered-wildlife-produc...

Personally I think it's a bad idea, as it's demand which drives this not supply. fixing supply may only increase demand for the 'real thing' even more.

Exactly what will happen, more supply will create more demand, which in turn will create a demand for a premium product - the real thing
