    Leave it up to science to find ways around doing the right thing

    First of all you don’t have to rob someone else of their life and you don’t have to go into places were humans are not intended to be without causing harm or being fatal

    What you need to do is stop the madness on the earth itself instead of diving deep into the sea for some quest to find answers to problems that we have created and participated in not only that but we have funded it and we do not stop the scientist that have poison the air the food the water and the land we do not eat real food we do not eat clean food we don’t even eat properly for our species that’s the problem… We are the problem which means we are the solution we don’t have to go to the depths of the sea to find some new patentable way to make you people billionaires and get false hope when the hope is in changing your lifestyle but it’s not for the faint of heart because most people would much rather die as long as they are slathering poisons on their palate which taste good to them because they’ve acclimated to it

    I’m sorry but I’m not behind you on this matter nor am I in support of destroying the ecological system of the sea

    The best thing you people can do is stop stop what you’re doing right now stop destroying anymore of this beautiful planet with your crazy ideas and go back to the root of the problem and fix that
