De-extinction: Is it really possible to bring extinct animals back from the dead?

Extinct Tasmanian tiger yields RNA secrets that could aid resurrection:

Isn't this similar to cloning which is outlawed? Are scientists legally allowed to Frankenstein up an existing species? where do they draw the line? and this wouldn't be a Tasmanian Tiger it would be x.000392 DNA sequencing formula.

At first I thought do not pursue this because it also sets a precedent that endangered species are no big deal (we will just manufacture some new ones), but then I think our current strategy doesn't work anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , sure go for it.

Here's some colorized footage of the last Tasmanian Tiger from 1930's. This was such a unique creature isolated to such a small part of the world, its a marsupial like a Kangaroo but Dog/Dingo like. Left to evolve and not hunted to oblivion for thousands of years by Aborigine's prior to Anglo Saxons turning up. Then we arrived, and hunted them all to extinction for rugs/ skins in less than 100 years.

Cloning is not entirely outlawed, Dolly wasn't a one-shot.
