It's not necessarily bad that this happened. What's troubling is the potential to regard a human life as a recreational laboratory experiment, or as dolls for designing (application of traits), as well as the kind of life these GM humans will or might be subjected to.

This is a one good example of what I'm meaning by "the life they'll be (made to live, or) living." These are humans, not robots.
"Sole purpose." 
That anyone else would get to dictate the lives and worth of these GM people, would be wrong, and that is an understatement.
Genetic engineering for the purpose of things like disease control is responsible, not so for the production of laboratory specimens and "robot programming."
However, this is only a responsible outlook. Question is, how much do they care for being responsible?
