Although i assume governments are already working on a way to weaponize such things.

Adding video to channels (Bugs, Nature) - requested by ant.

Just a thought, if you anthropomorphize the planet...if you imagine that disease and other natural human limiting factors are a planets immune response...at what point do we become a virus. Just like in the video, it's horrifying to imagine an organism invading a cell and using it as camouflage. What type of virus do we become when we rewrite the genetic code of other organisms, resulting in our unchecked growth which eventually destroys the host?

I'm sure that malaria would think it unethical not to evolve in a way that would ensure the survival of future generations.

I don't think curing it is a smart idea as long as people have moral issues with regulated global population control.

Ethics doesn't even come into the argument until we know whether it will actually work, and work without any negative consequences.

There are just too many variables in nature to test something like this completely in a lab.
