GMO Mosquitos - what say you?

[Senegoid]

Mentioned also in the recent thread about introduced organisms and particularly in this post by me.

Relevant detail for this thread: It’s only the males that are being mutated and released. And males don’t bite people.

@Senegoid

I don’t quite see what the objections is. They are only going to release males, which don’t bite people. The males then compete with normal males for females, who will then lay eggs and the larva will die before they get around to biting anyone. There aren’t going to be any Peter Parker style mosquito-man people coming out of this.
