Well, because we can! Of course that's not the only reason. All good science proceeds through the " What is that?," to the "How does that work?," to the "Can I take that apart?," to the "Can I put it back together?", and finally, to the "Can I make it better?" stages. We always have the "how this will make human lives better" idea in the back of our minds, but in the front, it's just the desire to boldly go where no one has gone before idea.
On top of that, the new species they created has the names of its creators, and a web page, all encoded in its DNA! Frakin' Amazing! Hey, can I take that apart to get the web page address?
