Theoretically. Genetic engineering means changing the RNA/DNA of species, which could be the small pox. You could likely change it so that it's 'new' in some way, e.g. bypasses current immunities. However, that would require quite a bit of research and I'm pretty sure that's not allowed.

What are the benefits of Gregor Mendel studies?
Gregor Mendel's genetic reasearch has allowed families to predict genetic diseases. It's also allowed scientists to genetically modify foods.
Why are scientists only allowed in Antarctica?
Tourists are allowed in Antarctica, as are the people who live and work there temporarily -- in support of science.
Can a mechanical engineer become a astronaut?
No, never. Its not allowed.
Can a mechanical engineer ever become an astronaut?
No, never. Its not allowed.
How did knowledge of genotypes affect scientists efforts to improve plants used for food and clothing?
Knowledge of genotypes allowed scientists to selectively breed plants with desired traits by identifying specific genes associated with characteristics like disease resistance, yield, and fiber quality. This led to the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and hybrid varieties that have enhanced productivity, nutritional value, and quality in crops used for food and clothing. This understanding also enabled scientists to create genetically tailored plants that could thrive in challenging environments and adapt to changing climate conditions.
Who is allowed to have live samples of smallpox?
These viruses are not living but there are two labs where samples are kept. One is at the CDC in the USA and one in Russia.
What type of scientists make sodium chloride?
Legally the only ones who are allowed to are government scientists and school teachers
What was an invention that allowed scientists to see extremely small things?
telescope
The microscope that allowed scientists to view molecules?
scanning electron microscope
What engineer patented an oiling device which allowed machines to motion while being lubricated?
Elijah McCoy
Are forensic scientists allowed to have tattoos?
Yes, forensic scientists are allowed to have tattoos. However, there may be workplace policies that restrict visible tattoos for professional reasons, especially if they could potentially interfere with evidence collection or presentation in court.
When they find a way to genetically engineer perfect children should the law require that everyone be able to get it or that everyone must get it?
The government should not be allowed to impose genetically engineered children on prospective parents, nor should the ability to get engineered children become a right. Rights mean that the government has to fund it. Requirement means selective breeding. The next step might be the termination of pregnancies where a less than perfect child might enter the new perfect world. Government is not God and should not be given the power to play one.
