I wonder if there is an ethical case for using gene drives to revitalize species that are going extinct due to climate, habitat loss, or other factors. It seems like some species are probably quite important to regional ecology but are under great pressure and face issues due to a dwindling gene pool. Perhaps we could in the not distant future give such species a small genetic boost as part of broader conservation efforts. I’m not sure though.
