“We are already in a state close to extinction, the Earth's useful resources are going into negative territory, the peaks of coal and oil production have already been passed. The problem of the world's population can be solved in different ways, including with the help of genetic engineering, the fact that it will be used is obvious,”Drobyshevsky said.
