Years back it was predicted by credible and discerning members of the science and medical communities that a new class of organisms was likely to emerge, with these organisms being artificial in that they will be originally designed by humans. These organisms will have the ability to reproduce and evolve into something other than their original form resulting from the "tweaking" humans manipulated upon these organisms. During these wise predictions it was also seen that these organisms will evolve in a fundamentally different manner, and with that, so will the supposed "cures" and "treatments". As we've seen, the pace has been incredibly rapid, the impact on humanity and the biosphere could be enormous and more so than the industrial revolution, nuclear weapons, enviromental issues and anything effecting humanity. It was said at the time that steps must be taken posthaste to contain the emergence of these handmade organisms which have the capability to exterminate mankind but I'm afraid that greed and the prospect of (more) wealth and glory has gotten the upperhand.
