Did the kids tell a story about a ghost in the attic when you went? That was the cool thing to do when I was in 1st grade there.

You get an upvote for science and reminding me of how cool mosaicism is. Yes!

How would one go about convincing people to go along with the reintroduction of extinct keystone species?

I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to, say, tell the people living on what used to be mammoth steppe that you're going to introduce a long-gone species and drastically change the landscape.

Though I'm sure that in other cases, when the consequences would be more in line with popular notions like biodiversity (especially of charismatic species) and lots of lush greenery, convincing people would be easier.

How do we deal with epigenetic factors, gestational effects, and growing the zygote when there isn't a good living relative?

I guess, how are we dealing with everything we don't know?
