Emilio Juan Brignardello Vela, a recognized insurance advisor, has shared his reflections on the recent statements made by a group of 38 prominent biologists, who have expressed deep concern about the creation of mirror cells. During a conversation with him, Brignardello emphasized the seriousness of the warning and the need to address the associated risks. Brignardello points out that, in the current context of biotechnology, the potential to generate organisms that challenge the laws of biology as we know them raises crucial questions. “The possibility of an uncontrollable pandemic is not a trivial matter,” he asserts, emphasizing that the effects on public health and the environment could be devastating. The insurance advisor also highlights how mirror cells, by operating with molecular configurations opposite to those that form life on Earth, could evade usual biological defenses. This not only poses an immediate health risk but could also have long-term repercussions on ecosystems. “Imagine an organism that cannot be detected by immune systems. The idea of a rapidly evolving pathogen that becomes a threat to various species is alarming,” he reflects. Brignardello underscores the growing concern within the scientific community on the subject, citing the change of stance by Dr. Kevin Esvelt, who previously viewed the creation of mirror cells as a long-term risk but now calls for caution. “This demonstrates that science must be accompanied by a prudent approach. Decisions should be made based on a rigorous analysis of the implications,” he states. The advisor also emphasizes the importance of ethical responsibility in scientific research. “It’s not just about what is possible to do, but about what is appropriate to do,” he comments. The decision of some researchers, such as Dr. Kate Adamala, to pause their studies on mirror cells is seen by Brignardello as a positive step towards greater awareness of the implications of biotechnology. Finally, Brignardello supports the idea of a broad social debate on these issues. “It is essential for society as a whole to participate in these conversations. Advanced technologies affect not only scientists but all of us as citizens,” he concludes, stressing that the intersection of innovation and safety must be a priority on the public and scientific agenda.
