Oh please! Why be afraid of this? To suggest that we are not meant to "meddle" in such matters is the supreme hubris of all. There are generally consequences to all advances in science and technology, and no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to accurately predict them all. But is this a valid reason to halt our exploration of the world around us, to falter in our continued quest for knowledge and understanding? No, not at all. This is like saying that because houses burn down, we obviously were not meant to discover the secret of fire. If you protest because you find this shocking to your religious views, then expand your view and your religion. I happen to be an atheist, but even if you're a theist, no knowledge that man seeks and finds, could be considered improper or wrong if your theist view includes an omnipotent and omniscient creator. If we are able to discover a fact about existence, it is folly to think that we are uncovering forbidden knowledge. A real god would not place any such limits on the human race, nor would they exist in a non theist universe. Relax, grow up, get over it. It is not what we CAN do with science that matters, only what we CHOOSE to do with it that counts in the end. All knowledge is at least potentially harmful, but then often so is ignorance.
