The possibility of bringing an extinct animal back to life sounds more like science fiction but could it happen?

I say it isnt science fiction, and that is where it all goes to hell. And by To Hell I mean thats where we start crossing the line, the line of time and its choices of what species lives when. Resurrection of extinct species disrupts natures choices. Humanity's choices always seem to pet the cat the wrong way, if everything was supposed to coexist simultaneously, they would. Nature's lack of subjective choice is the only true form of any god-like destiny. And we fuck it up.
disagree? good i want to hear it. and why. and respectfully.-

The Tasmanian Tiger was not selected for extinction by nature - it was hunted to extinction by man, and not even a century ago.
This is a very crucial fact, and it is also why I do not see any problem whatsoever in bringing it back.
Human beings, with today's advanced science, have the power to do miraculously good things for the natural world, just as generations of people armed with guns and pollution have the power to do monstrous things (i.e. wiping out entire ecosystems).
Why not right an incredibly awful wrong? -
When you mess with DNA you will eventually unlock some of that unactive dna and the results will not be pretty. Crazy TIGER RAT AHHHHH!!!!!!!!! BULLETS DONT STOP IT.
