Can a werewolf be genetically created by splicing human and wolf DNA?
SEB212
No.
*New Author improving Answer*
You cannot make a werewolf in the traditional sense which is basically a polymorphic creature and the human body can not generate enough flesh, blood, bone, sinew, etc to be able to handle that kind of metamorphosis.
However, theoretically it is possible to introduce foreign DNA, like that of a wolf for example, into a human. You need to first isolate the gene (here's the first problem, since the Human Genome Project only just finished mapping OUR DNA) then using chemicals, cut away the specific gene sequence and insert it into an length of human DNA in the proper spot. This DNA can be replicated with relative ease, and then placed in a viral vector (a virus not harmful to humans) that will literally infect the existing cells with the new DNA code.
But what good would it do? Everything in the body works of of responses to proteins, and we wouldn't be able to tell if that protein sequence did anything for a while, or if our organs are capable of carrying out that specific coding and interacting with existing cells to create new organs.

Does gene splicing affect the society?
Gene splicing can have both positive and negative impacts on society. On one hand, it can lead to the development of genetically modified organisms that can help increase food production and address environmental issues. On the other hand, there are concerns about ethical implications, potential health risks, and impacts on biodiversity. Regulatory frameworks and public engagement are important to ensure responsible and safe use of gene splicing technologies.
Can a human kill a werewolve?
In most cases it is the werewolf who kills the human or at least, turns the human into another werewolf. If you really want to kill one without being eaten or turned into a werewolf yourself then find the werewolf in human form and if you seriously want to kill it then there's really only one way: murder it, but land yourself in jail...
