I typically like radical measures that use gene editing in other things but I feel like ending a species over this is crazy.

Normally I am pro parasite eradication, but I would to wait at least ten years or so until CRISPR becomes very boring and familiar technology before using it on a species in the wild. Also, assuming biohacking becomes widespread, this is Great Filter level dangerous stuff.

If the species collapses do we currently have the ability to clone mosquitos? I don't think we do. I mean the problem is total collapse. This is an absurdly complex system.

I dont mean to be cavalier, im very pro-environment in my values (sort of, something something wild animal suffering) and I would prefer to preserve much of it (same caveat) but im skeptical of collapse because mosquito absence

I worry a lot more about say mosquitos than cheetahs. Top of the food chain extinction? Life goes on mostly. Bottom of the food chain? Oh God, fuck, fuck, fuck.
