I think when you start with secret projects with vague and unknown boundaries, we can pretty much assume these boundaries will be moved or even crossed. Eventually... It seems us humans have a tendency to be attracted to the dark side of the force.... Especially when nobodies looking.
the darkside to me is making a nuclear bomb, not bringing an extinct species back to life...yet society is fine with designing new ways to murder life...and freaked out about salvaging life.

cloning animals out of extinction = good.
there should be no religious uproar about cloning neandertals...because..well, they aren't man and therefore who cares.
Trinkhaus adds that most living humans probably have much more Neanderthal DNA than the new study suggests.
"One to 4 percent is truly a minimum," Trinkaus added. "But is it 10 percent? Twenty percent? I have no idea."

and in regards to them developing nukes...well, we took em out once, we will take em out again if they get silly.
Actually, wasn't there some research done suggesting neanderthals didn't go extinct but rather just interbred with homo sapians and made french people?
"But the fact is that Chinese and Melanesians are as closely related to Neanderthals" as Europeans, said Reich, a population geneticist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University.
