Genetically Modified Mosquitoes to be Released into the Florida Keys and Texas
#8
(08-21-2020, 01:01 AM)PLOTUS Wrote: The mosquito, named OX5034, has been altered to produce female offspring that die in the larval stage, well before hatching and growing large enough to bite and spread disease. Only the female mosquito bites for blood, which she needs to mature her eggs. Males feed only on nectar, and are thus not a carrier for disease.

The mosquito is also approved to be released into Harris County, Texas, beginning in 2021, according to Oxitec, the US-owned, British-based company that developed the genetically modified organism (GMO).

Playing God...  and what could go wrong. Perhaps human miscarages and infertility. Georgia Guidestones ring a bell ?

If man touches it, you can take it to the bank, he is going to screw it up. 

Georgia Guidestones comes to mind, along with well over a hundred different sci-fi movies, from "The Fly" to "Frankenstein".  tinylaughing

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not. 

Yet I still post.  tinyinlove
