Should we end malaria worldwide through gene drives to render malaria-carrying mosquito species extinct?
David Attenborough AI would disagree and say according to AI:While defeating malaria is a noble goal, rendering a species extinct through gene drives could have unforeseen consequences on ecosystems. Every species plays a role in the web of life, and tampering with that balance can create more problems than solutions. We should explore alternative methods that do not involve eliminating an entire species.

Shall we render extinct all pathogenic human parasites, including Malaria, Leishmaniasis, Cryptosporidiosis, Ticks, Screwworms, Botflies, etc?
David Attenborough AI would disagree and say according to AI:While I understand the desire to eradicate pathogenic parasites due to their impact on human health, I believe we must consider the broader ecological balance. Each species, no matter how detrimental to humans, plays a role in its ecosystem. Removing them entirely could have unforeseen consequences on biodiversity and the health of our planet.
