This kind of experimentation will be our undoing. At some point a genetically altered virus or bacteria will be unleashed and destroy life as we know it.

Ever had contortionists for entertainment while dining? It was real big in the CCCP.

Undo evolution? What a crock.
Isn’t there some requirement to actually learn to write? Or to find out what the scientist’s hypothesis was, before sensationalizing the work? This article tells us the what, but forgets to tell us the why.
I’ve no problem with genetic engineering—it’s done all the time—but to write about it in this way is a crime.
I do have to say that destroying the embryos before they could hatch does rather trouble me. I’ve nothing against using animals in research, but using (and killing) babies of any species bothers me.

That’s certainly one possibility. I fear the ones that have been created to kill.

That’s nothing. In Washington, DC they’ve combined the elephant and the donkey. It’s still a jackass but it produces a lot more manure.

But how hard do you think it would be for them to tweak the one that killed millions in the 1918 pandemic? Maybe they already have.
"An effort to recreate the 1918 flu strain (a subtype of avian strain H1N1) was a collaboration among the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City; the effort resulted in the announcement (on October 5, 2005) that the group had successfully determined the virus's genetic sequence, using historic tissue samples recovered by pathologist Johan Hultin from a female flu victim buried in the Alaskan permafrost and samples preserved from American soldiers.[68] On January 18, 2007, Kobasa et al. reported that monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) infected with the recreated strain exhibited classic symptoms of the 1918 pandemic and died from a cytokine storm[69]an overreaction of the immune system
Varied ever so slightly but just as deadly and introduce it anywhere in the world and who is the wiser?

I don't think it would be hard at all. If you can grow an alligator snout on a chicken, you can mutate the flu. We know some of the reported weaponized versions of things like small pox, plague, and anthrax are true horrors. Even some of the naturally occurring viruses like the hideous Ebola would be unstoppable if it were released into the general population. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time until there is a nexus between the knowledge and the will to unleash this kind of destruction.
