Yeah further fucking up the ecosystem by letting loose some cruel creation is not funny or cool.
OTOH, the potential is there to stabilize the ecosystem by letting loose some well-thought out and helpful creations, which is pretty exciting
Obviously not this guy
I think the rule of thumb in ecology is not to create or release any chimera into an ecosystem, because biological systems being extremely complex and wide we can't really know the impact of an introduction fully.
but what if we chimeratize every species in an ecosystem and release that into the wild so that no matter how much it spreads there's always the right balance
I generally agree with that rule but increasingly worry that we may be reaching a point of desperate measures
