Humans are now eradicating elephants, gorillas, rhinos among others because they live above oil fields. I watched few years ago documentary called "Virunga" where some oil guy is telling "Why shouldn't we kill off gorillas? They're just stupid monkeys."
And yet when it comes to question of eradicating mosquitoes there is sudden pour of humanity over them. So I will make an angry remark: maybe somebody is just making too much money on their existence (like perhaps Bill Gates).
Bold mine.
That's the thing - we humans suck in a big way sometimes. So while I think eradicating the mosquitos species that carry diseases is a good idea, it's also a good idea to put some thought into it first.
Bill Gates will be fine either way - he can make money from the companies that are developing mosquito gene-editing tech instead.
