Frankenstein Mosquitos Worth Risk

Scientists have figured out how to engineer mosquitoes into little suicide bombers who end up annihilating themselves after mating. Getting the tiny bomb jackets on these Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes is difficult. But what happens is the genetic structure of the male mosquito is modified into a mutant capable of destroying its own species. The modified males are turned loose to breed with females in the wild and after the eggs hatch the fatal genes will prevail, killing them all. The Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes (don’t ask me how to pronounce that) are among the deadliest creatures on Earth and spread fatal diseases such as yellow fever and dengue fever. I have no sympathy for mosquitoes and this seems like a really neat plan - far better than dousing myself and the people around me with bug spray that may be more toxic than the bugs we’re trying to get rid of/ Kathy Hedberg , Lewiston Tribune.
