Organisms exist in ecological niches. Very often they go extinct because that niche is no longer available. I think it's ill-advised to bring a species back just because it's possible. Where is it going to live? Cruel to just stuff it into a zoo enclosure, and if you let it run wild it'll either die out again or unbalance the local ecosystem, displacing other species.
