Apart from if this should happen, what is the thought process for choosing what to "de-extinct"? Marketability (large mammal vs tiny insect excites the populace more, leading to funding)? Viability (proximity to existing species genome means less work filling the gaps, quicker to market)? Biological disruption (some species easier to control than others)? Other?
Also, what geopolitical entity is willing to host the results? For example wooly mammoth might really appeal to tropical-based group, but must be hosted in sub-arctic region.
