With practices like this, it's only a matter of time until there are significant adverse impacts.

The equivalent to this research in the virology field would be doing gain of function research to enhance contagion to humans and other common food animals in open petri dishes on a table in the wet market. And this was the 'good guys': government working diligently in the public interest, one would hope and expect, though the evidence suggests otherwise.
