To introduce an animal like this in the wild will have catastrophic consequences; i.e., mass extinctions.

Exactly. The only alternative is to keep these fabricated animals as captives the rest of their lives or euthanize them when they are no longer useful for research. To produce them and let them reproduce would benefit no one and harm many.
