Ugh. This is going to head in a really bad direction.
We're getting pushed into a new territory, and the results could be disastrous. The world is putting us up against some ugly decisions and the collective choice isn't going to unanimous.
There's a lot of ethics getting tossed aside with the "someone else is going to do it" argument, and the bald truth that the world is unprepared and currently incapable of regulating anything at all.
You have elitists, you have military medicine, you have other countries (usually China, but others as well), you have the wealthy, you have private corporate labs, all splitting a dilemma. And then you have regular people, and the unwashed masses.
If this goes the wrong way, it threatens to prove itself as a problem thousands of times worse than anything the 20th century could have imagined.
A war may be fought over this. A big one. Who will be on the wrong side of history?
