Seems pretty silly to me that most of these scientists probably believe in evolution, yet aren't willing to leave its supposed results alone. They don't know the temperment of these creatures, but they're willing to risk human lives to revive a species that no longer fits the planet in its present state. How illogical and wasteful is that?
Just because scientists believe in evolution does not mean they cannot tamper with the results.

I would have to say that the risks to humans is probably quite small.

Scientific progress has never been constrained by fear of risk. Throughout history great men have taken monumental risks in the name of science. There's nothing illogical about it. To be able to successfully clone extinct species of complex, multicellular organisms would be a scientific breakthrough of the highest order.
As far as wasteful? See my post# 124.
