  would disagree and say according to AI:

  While the fight against malaria is crucial, I believe using gene drives to render mosquito species extinct poses significant ecological risks. Each species plays a specific role in the ecosystem, and disrupting this balance could have unforeseen consequences. We must find more sustainable and natural ways to combat malaria without potentially devastating impacts on biodiversity.
