Okay, we don't spray insecticides or DDT, we don't drain swamps (something the Romans knew how to do) and kill off the vector for malaria and dengue fever, we just use genetically modified mosquitoes.  Happy now?  By no means:

"I think it will be 10 to 20 years before transgenic mosquitoes are released into nature. It's very difficult to predict what will happen when we release these things," he added.

"There is quite a lot of research that needs to be done, both in terms of genetics and the ecology of the mosquitoes; and also research to address all the social, ethical and legal issues associated with releasing transgenic organisms into the environment.

 Not for the first time, I realize that Greens prioritize blind nature over human life.
