We've known about this for a very long time, and how we have these interviews of scientists who are willing to admit what the mass media wanted to ignore, and even lie about.
I read a piece a while back that discussed the advancements during the various centuries and identified the centuries by their accomplishments. The 20th century was identified as the century of physics, and we see the century opening with the introduction of the automobile and closing with routine trips to residential orbital space stations. In fact, my grandmother, who was born in 1893, witnessed during her lifetime everything from the widespread introduction of automobiles to the landing of men on the moon.

According to the article I read, the 21st century will be the century of genetics and biology. It expected to see cloned and bioengineered humans as well as designer viruses, some of which will be able to be created at home by high school biology students.
I believe, too, that the Lord will intervene before humankind goes too far on the path of self destruction. Maybe that intervention will take the form of the parousia.Blessedly, there is a limit as to just how far the Lord will allow mankind to go, especially when meddling with genetics, and I base that concept of limitations all the way back in Gensis:
Genesis 11:5-6
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
The assessment the Lord made for those people and their efforts, well establishes that the watchful Eye of the Lord is ever looking about to ensure mankind doesn't step outside the bounds of constraints, and messing with His Image that He has instilled within us, that, I believe, is one of many limits He has placed upon, and will exercise against mankind's ability to achieve the great evils inherent within genetic manipulations.
