That’s weird. Bats eat lots of mosquitoes though, so could that mean that some bats might starve?

These mosquitoes are genetically engineered to kill — their own children.

Planned Parenthood is branching out, eh?

I slightly misread that first sentence as:

These mosquitoes are genetically engineered to kill —- children.

I thought this to be a bad idea.

Even taking into account most children I know; I think the actual plan is worse.

I love what scientific advances have done for our society. I also fear messing with God. This frightens me on some level. When have we gone too far?

[Getready]

I wonder if they know if the gene could be inserted into a
virus that the mosquito was harboring, and that virus get
into the general population and inserts that gene into
animals or humans causing genetic dysfunction........these genetic mod folks are starting
to get a little scary cuz they don’t test for all
possibilities....if you read a textbook on modern genetics
you could get frightened...

Yet even supporters of the research worry it could provoke a public reaction similar to the one that has limited the acceptance of genetically modified crops.

Is there any credibly documented case of anyone, at any time or anywhere being harmed by a genetically modified crop?
