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.
Ok. THANK YOU. I also have to say my biggest issue with the newer one (I forget which) is when the parks going to hell, and the park director just decides to go off into the jungle. Like outside of just design of the park, there is NO way you don’t have rigid protocols in-place. Like you read about half the crap Disney does/can do at their parks… there’s no way the head of the park just goes “oh you guys got this, I’ll be back at some point, just do your best”.
Like if ONLY for the reason it would be a known PR disaster for something that in universe already had PR disasters… that shit would have been drilled in since day -1000. It’s my biggest issue with the writing because it’s not even sci-fi.
/end rant.
