re: “He would put this DNA into stem cells. These would be injected into cells from a human embryo in the early stages of life.”
Sure, why not? That “human” embryo is just an nonviable tissue mass, right? (sarc.)
Nothing unethical here.

The technique described has been used for many years to make transgenic animals. If you've ever seen pictures of fluorescent rabbits, fish, dogs, etc., this is how they were made.
I seriously doubt any research proposal using this technology on humans would get past an IRB.
