Millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes May be Released in a Key West Neighborhood

"In this case, the mosquitoes possess what is called a "dominant lethal genetic system," according to Discover magazine. This means that, essentially, the mosquitoes die by themselves; the males carry inserted DNA which causes the mosquitoes to depend on a dietary supplement that can be found in the lab, but not in nature. When these mutants breed with normal females, their offspring also need the supplement and then die."

Its awesome when people who barely understand something just go ahead and experiment on a huge scale in an uncontrolled environment. Whats not to love?

It's not the first time genetically modified mosquitoes have been released in the free, it's been happening for years. 80-95% of the local mosquito population is eradicated very soon. Which results in lesser disease spreading, as the biggest benefit.
