The primary general duty of angels is as messengers of God. (The word "angel" means messenger in Greek.) But angels can do God's chores, such as busting Peter out of jail in Acts 5, or destroying Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. But some angels obey only the devil, and those angels are known as "demons", as is Satan himself. Satan had been an angel, but decided to do his own thing.

... engineered genes into a patient's cells. It comes in two distinct forms, each of which must be looked at separately because of their distinctly different applications for the future of medicine and human society. Somatic gene therapy entails the alteration of genes within non-reproductive cells, all cells excluding sperm and eggs, thus theoretically having no influence upon the genetic make-up of future generations. However, germ-line gene therapy is the specific alteration of sperm or egg, thus having not only an effect upon the immediate progeny, but also on all successive generations.

By blocking out all emotions, they are able to shut off all their senses, making them more aware of their spiritual self. But most of us are born with emotions. Emotions are part of our instinct, that's why they are so hard to control. All animals have emotions including us. Love is the exemption of all worldly emotions. First of all, all humans are capable of love, but not all animals are. That is what separates us from the animal world, the ability to love.
