10. Can you think of a situation where we deliberately want to make a species extinct? How would you justify it?

Answers (1)

Yes, some harmful pathogens i.e. disease-causing organisms with little or no role in the ecosystem can be made to get extinct. Their extinction will not lead to any effect on the ecological balance. These pathogens may include smallpox virus etc, Poliovirus is about to get eradicated. There are efforts to make this world free from diseases such as TB, AIDA, Malaria etc. Since the microorganisms causing these disease have no role to play in the environment, they can be made to get eradicated.
