Please future humans, do not build mirror life.

Thanks.

From the point of view of a newly created colony of opposite-handed bacteria, it would be facing an entire planet of really well established mirror life.

Ever heard of invasive species?

That's the problem. Mirror life may not be a problem for the biosphere in the long run but it could totally be a problem for humans in the short run.

yes it seems unlikely that it would be able to outcompete everything already on earth

if it did I would have thought it would have appeared in the past 5 billion years or so

Hopefully mirror antibiotics are earlier in the tech tree than mirror life.
