Absolutely, and mutations really aren't all that common (harmful ones) and in fact sometimes mutations occur due to adaptations needed to survive. For example the celts at one time around 60-70 generations ago had tiny amounts of iron in their diet so their body's compensated through a mutation that allowed for the body to code more codons to form proteins that increase absorption of iron.
Mutations aren't all that bad, sometimes they're helpful (Although it is unfortunate that that mutation ha become harmful due to the ease of access to iron today, although at the same time it is much rarer, showing that the body understands how to adapt well to conditions).
But of course experimentation as always, and safe experimentation at that.
yes sometimes they can be helpful. in the majority of the time they are harmful or lethal.
that is why this needs to be studied throughly before they start doing anything else.
plus they would need to know what would happen if they actually put it in a live host. making it isolated is one thing injecting it into a live host is something else.
that could have disasterous results.
