I dunno if it's stupid of me but I always get a little freaked out by the whole "revive some thousands or millions year old organism from under the ice/bottom of the sea floor" situation. I think I've watched one too many horror flicks.
It does carry some dangers, all the obvious ones really but humans have always lived dangerously, it is how we have progressed so rapidly. It is probably going to catch up with us one day.
It's catching up with us all the time and has been doing so since we came into existence. Everyone who has died because of anything we do fits that.
