What is often unremarked is that it is in researching treatment, prevention, and detection of pathogens that the need to produce them for study arises. Such consequences of doing bad things for good reasons are opaque to most people. Candida auris is a good example of a virulent pathogen that many scientists will be growing soon, because they can't learn to cure it unless they have samples of it to infect research subjects with.
We need to be very careful of what we wish for when our wishes will be effected through inhuman agents, like AI and corporations.
