I don't know enough to enter the technical discussion here, but I'll make some general observations...
If this research is so objectionable to God (and that seems to be the case the Catholic Church is making), he could quite rightly either put a stop to it, or at least render it unsuccessful. Strangely, it's only become a sin (a highly specific one, if various opinions are to be believed) very recently - perhaps God didn't see where it was heading.
If this research leads to a cure for a disease that may one day threaten your child's life, would you accept that treatment, knowing its origin?
