I think the time and effort to save endangered species would need to come from a much different source than those smallish University teams who might succeed in reviving extinct species. It will take the collective efforts of hundreds of millions of people to have an effect on the current mass extinction.

It's easier for me to approve of "reviving" a species that disappeared quite recently and in the way the Tasmanian tiger did than it is to approve of, say, reviving a Neanderthal human. Some thorny dilemmas do come up with this subject. :)
