Summary
Leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, are urging a halt to research on creating “mirror life” microbes, citing “unprecedented risks” to life on Earth.
Mirror microbes, built from reversed molecular structures, could evade natural immune systems, leading to uncontrollable lethal infections.
While mirror molecules hold potential for medical and industrial uses, researchers warn that mirror organisms could escape containment and resist antibiotics.
A 299-page report in Science advocates banning such research until safety can be ensured and calls for global debate on its ethical and ecological implications.
Hey babe, wake up. A new human-created, extinction-level event just dropped.
We just need to make mirror people that live in the mirror microbe side of the world
Yeah, we need more conflict. We’ll create the ultimate “them” for us to “us” against. Contact with them is literally lethal! Can’t get more conflict than that… yet.
Meh, we get a new one of those every year now. They’ll have to try harder to impress me.
Fuck, again?
