Like I said in a technical sense, yes. But in a philosophical way are we really if we can pick and choose which species we want to make extinct?

Whenever the topic comes up on eradicating mosquitos once and for all, it's never centered on if we can but if we should. We have so much control of our environment and animals, we can decide which ones flourish and which ones go extinct, we can destroy all life on this planet in a day. We don't have total control, but what we do have...is quite a lot. To me that means we've transcended beyond imo
