    I mean releasing said virus into the public; let’s say it’s airborne. That would violate bodily autonomy as we are modifying people without their consent. But yeah I agree it doesn’t really have too many downsides beyond potential for unintended consequences.

      yeah but like, by that argument, burning wood is a violation of the bodily autonomy of other people.

      Farting in a public space would be an equally problematic activity.

      The biggest argument here is that it’s “artificial” and “alters human comprehension” but i’m not really sure it would even matter, because ethically, you would have a hard time arguing against it.

      Murder being illegal, is technically a violation of bodily autonomy, but we collectively agree as a society, that this should be the case, because the net effect of murder being illegal, is beneficial to society.

      the worst possible case, is that it has a mortality rate, of like 0.001% or something, which would kill a lot of people, but would that even negatively impact the world? It’s hard to say.
