I think its unethical to cause an animal to go extinct on purpose. Like it seems a very nuclear option to me.
On the other hand I hate these mosquitoes tho.. And they are a medical threat to humans
Is it unethical to make smallpox go extinct?
I guess we humans have a different code of ethics for diseases and bacteria... Team DNA mixing vs team DNA cloning... A fight as old as life itself
Team preoccupied with whether or not they can vs team thinking if they should
Counterpoint: guinea worm, a nightmarish human parasite with possible mentions back to ancient Egypt. As of the mid 1980's, it infected millions every year. Now it is on the verge of extinction due to a very concerted international effort. All those little worms were doing was causing intense physical suffering for humans and other animals.
