It just kills off the one type of mozzie that carries these particular diseases. There's still fucktons of mosquitoes around here and they were released years ago... just not that one bad one.

I love GMO. I hope they make Murder Mosquitoes. I mean we have tiny dogs, why not giant flying bugs. All life is sacred, thus all life should be created. Land sharks, huge 40 foot wingspan eagles to eat the giant snakes in the everglades. I want it all.

If you get bit by these new mosquitoes 🦟 you have a 50% chance of devolving into an ancestor like proto hominids like that scientist from the movie Altered States

Galangal said: This makes no sense to me. They modify mosquitoes to collapse the population through short lived females. This is only ever a temporary solution, because these modified mosquitoes will never erradicate the real ones, and the real ones will keep coming back. And when they come back, you're going to need to pay big money to get enough of these trademarked Oxitec mosquitoes to repeat the whole operation. It's a perfect business model.
It's not like theres any alternative approaches, where the mosquitoes are blocked from transmitting zika permanently using natural bacteria for example... https://www.worldmosquitoprogram.org/
A business model like that just doesn't attract the big VC bucks.
Essentially a female that mates with a GM male will only have GM male offspring. The population will eventually become all GM males then die out.

I hate mosquitos, but the larvae is a important food near the bottom of the food chain, something else would probably take its place, but why risk it?

To a mosquito, you’re the bottom of the food chain
I pulled two ticks off me this morning. One on each knee.

There's 1000's of different mosquitoes. One won't be missed.

Compared to outright poisoning a whole area to deal with disease carrying mosquitoes out of necessity, genetically eradicating specific species that cause issues is more friendly to food chains in general and pales in comparison to the ecological damage caused by insecticides in most farming worldwide, itself a necessity.

im all for GMO. first off, GMO means we'll likely see more races, which means fuck yeah, fantasy games come to life.
second, we'll probably cure obesity for good with things like modifications to our genome to have muscles without having to workout, longer lifespans, and other kickass stuff.
third, eventually GMO critters are gonna get out into the wild, it's inevitable, and we'll wind up with a crazy world full of wild organisms that are probably really tasty and gnarly looking like the Toriko universe. fuck yeah, cookie trees and meteor garlic and all sorts of crazy tasty food that you don't have to worry about getting fat on! \:D/
people get too hung up on the natural argument, but lets face it - if something exists, its part of nature. therefore, its natural. we are part of nature. therefore, our ability to modify organisms, as an advanced form of tool usage, is natural.
now of course that isn't to say we shouldn't be responsible - we can and should strive for a balanced ecosystem. it's perfectly fine to create new oganisms, but we should strive for said organisms to work in harmony with whats already there... unless what's already there is something hideous that needs to be wiped off the face of the planet. (like plague carrying mosquitoes. good riddance. and can we get rid of hornets, spiders, deadly diseases, and any kind of biting fly while we're at it?)
