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.

      Newman didn’t built the park though. If you require power for the park to not fall apart immediately, you’ve already lost.

      Remember that whole movie happens in one night. T rexes breaking confinement the moment the fence isn’t electrified means some engineer fucked up big time.
