If we could use quantum computing to make a perfectly designed genetic method of mosquito elimination, couldn’t we just change their behavior to be less harmful instead? Why would we kill them when we have the ability to modify their molecular structure like putty? Why not just make them live out the rest of their days in peace after making them only capable of digesting nectar?
Given that mosquitoes hurt a lot of people, I support the general idea, but once we have super advanced magic adjacent technology, we could bypass any moral concerns entirely
