I think its unethical to cause an animal to go extinct on purpose. Like it seems a very nuclear option to me.

On the other hand I hate these mosquitoes tho.. And they are a medical threat to humans

Is it unethical to make smallpox go extinct?

I guess we humans have a different code of ethics for diseases and bacteria... Team DNA mixing vs team DNA cloning... A fight as old as life itself

Team preoccupied with whether or not they can vs team thinking if they should

Which team isn't thinking whether or not they should? The "because malaria" team or the "because they're a species" team?

Counterpoint: guinea worm, a nightmarish human parasite with possible mentions back to ancient Egypt. As of the mid 1980's, it infected millions every year. Now it is on the verge of extinction due to a very concerted international effort. All those little worms were doing was causing intense physical suffering for humans and other animals.
