Releasing something to intentionally wipe out a species, should it prove not to correctly contained, can cause a lot of damage. I would hate for corners to be cut.
- BurningFrog 3y agoIn real world decisions, you have to account for both costs and benefits. If we ignore the cost of 1700 people dying per day I agree with you. But to me the chance of saving a human life every 50 seconds vastly outweighs the risk to some random local mosquito species.
