Mosquitos Genetically-Modified To Kill Offspring Young

British scientists have "modified" some mosquitos so that when they reproduce, their offspring die younger.
This, it is hoped, will slow down the species advance.
The scientists are awaiting a licence for their work.

While this sort of genetic engineering might be frowned upon I think that if we can eliminate Mosquitos this way its fine by me

[Copie]

Worth a shot.
I wonder how long it would take to eliminate all those mosquitos though

We have to be careful with all this interfering with nature.
I am not saying we shouldn't go there on this one but we need to think hard going against nature.
Who are we to play God?

Good news - I wish they would do this for rats and mice

[Ironside]

I am surprised that they haven't done things like this before now.

Yes indeedy!

[Rodney]

We should do this for politicians

As long as this advanced procedure is regulated properly I say go for it.
