 Re: Malaria-resistant mosquitos?
I think the actual idea would be very beneficial to millions of people. Each year 350-500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa. But it seems that time after time we find out playing with DNA is a crap shoot most of the time.

Look what happened with the killer bees, perfect example. Now their threaten us here in the USA. They produce less honey and are very combative. They have the ability to dominate a honey bee region and reduce honey bee production. Americans eat about 275 million pounds of honey each year. So much that did for us.
