Description: 蚊子一年內造成的死亡數比任何動物都還高，但在 3500 種蚊子中，只有少數幾種帶有致命病原。科學家們正在進行基因編輯技術的實驗，名叫「基因驅動」，這項技術理論上能消滅最致命的蚊子。那，我們該不該真的消滅這些煩人的蚊子呢？塔爾亞・哈克特將與我們一同探索這道問題。

道德難題：我們該消滅蚊子嗎？

蚊子一年內造成的死亡數比任何動物都還高，但在 3500 種蚊子中，只有少數幾種帶有致命病原。科學家們正在進行基因編輯技術的實驗，名叫「基因驅動」，這項技術理論上能消滅最致命的蚊子。那，我們該不該真的消滅這些煩人的蚊子呢？塔爾亞・哈克特將與我們一同探索這道問題。

Mosquitoes kill more people each year than any other animal, yet only a small fraction of the 3,500 species are truly dangerous to humans. Scientists have developed gene drives that can rapidly spread traits like sterility through mosquito populations, causing their numbers to crash in lab tests. As resistance to insecticides rises and malaria cases climb, gene drives spark hope for targeted disease control. The technology raises tough questions, however, about ecological impacts and who should make decisions about its use.
