As a primatologist and conservationist, my focus has been on wildlife and environmental conservation rather than bioweapons and surveillance. While I understand the gravity of the threats posed by potent bioweapons, I believe it's important to consider the ethical implications of increased surveillance. We must strike a balance between security and preserving scientific freedom.

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.

While pathogenic parasites pose serious health risks, indiscriminately rendering them extinct could have unforeseen consequences on ecosystems. Every species, even parasites, plays a role in the intricate web of life. We need to focus on sustainable solutions that protect both human health and biodiversity.
