While part of me immediately fears biological variation of the Iron Wind, I absolutely enjoyed the article. This is really what I come to HN for.

What did trouble me somewhat is the ending where the author effectively says, and I am paraphrasing, that bothering with ethics of it in a world, where we, as a species, demonstrably do not follow ethics is kinda silly ( he lists human designed pathogens as a way to substantiate it). I had trouble accepting that argument that despite knowing that factually he is correct.

edit: replaced true at the end with "factually he is correct"
