We have exterminated a species. It's not going to be the last. We need this technology now to insure against further biosphere collapse. We are probably not going to be able to backup the entire biosphere, but we should start somewhere.
Governments should be doing this. What's the business model of the military?
To protect the currency.
yawn, sigh (whatever other passive-aggressive bodily functions you can imagine).
99% percent of all species that ever existed have gone extinct. The biosphere is not some pathetic weak, non resilient, piece of glass that you think it is. We can easily lose a lot more species and the biosphere would be just fine.
> We have exterminated a species.
We are not some outside influence/cancer on the planet. We ARE nature, and nature is survival of the fittest, we are fit, dodos are not.
