Scientists Urge Halt on Risky 'Mirror Life' Research to Protect Humanity

Scientists are urging a global pause on creating 'mirror life'—synthetic organisms with reversed molecular handedness—due to potential catastrophic consequences. These mirror microbes could evade immune systems, leading to uncontrollable infections and ecological disruptions. The call for caution comes as advancements in synthetic biology and AI bring us closer to realizing such organisms, prompting demands for international guidelines to prevent reckless experimentation.
