I thought it was one of those bad dreams...<BR/><BR/>Am not a scientist, but why do they want to create a GM mosquito? Whose brilliant idea? Not even the brightest scientist can control or predict mutations. <BR/><BR/>What if these mosquitos are released and then something goes horribly wrong like a superstrain (they mention, the risk is minimised). Its not like recalling an item with a fault.<BR/><BR/>Developing countries have enough problems with disease and do not need this kind of mass experimentation. <BR/>I wonder if Malaria existed in developed countries if this experiment would even be considered, let alone funded.<BR/>What is happening with the superbugs in hospitals for example in the UK. Are they planning on introducing other superbugs that do not cause MRSA?<BR/><BR/>There are still so many unanswered questions about GM foods and what they do to humans and the soil.<BR/><BR/>Surely there must be other interventions that can be used.<BR/><BR/>What happened to Dolly the Sheep? I know it seems irrelevant to this discussionVanilla[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-75209201915924272822007-03-21T00:31:00.000+01:002007-03-21T00:31:00.000+01:00I know malaria kills millions of people, but GM mo...I know malaria kills millions of people, but GM mosquitoes? Seriously? What next?
