Comments on: GM mosquitoes to be released in Malaysia on large scale? http://anilnetto.com/corporate-led-globalisation/agrobusinessgm-food/gm-mosquitoes-to-be-released-in-malaysia-on-large-scale/ Let justice flow like a mighty river Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:08:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: NotSoConcernedCitizen http://anilnetto.com/corporate-led-globalisation/agrobusinessgm-food/gm-mosquitoes-to-be-released-in-malaysia-on-large-scale/comment-page-1/#comment-105366 NotSoConcernedCitizen Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:55:17 +0000 http://anilnetto.wordpress.com/?p=251#comment-105366 If they're so confident in the mosquitoes ability to eventually destroy the mosquito population carrying dengue and yellow fever, then why not put this same research into the mosquitoes transmitting malaria? Besides, if I remember correctly, someone tried something similar and the result was the ever reproducing "love bugs". I wonder also if they took into effect that at the rate in which bugs reproduce, mutations and evolution happen a lot quicker and one wrong move on the evolutionary track can easily become an epidemic. Notice how love bugs now have black bulbs on their front instead of the red they used to have when they were created.

It only takes one lazy douchebag who did not take preventative measures to provide breeding grounds for disease-spreading mosquitoes. I find the hysteria over anything that is genetically modified hilarious Of course traditional methods are not effective.

The worst case scenario far out ways the reason for this. Where is the research? What has it concluded? What happens to other insects that eat these mosquitoes? What happens if we get bitten by them? We are trying to play god here. Do we want to (take the risk of killing) ourselves? People need to clean up their act and take responsibility seriously not solving a problem with another problem.

I say let those GM mosquitoes frolic about like cupid and reduce their populations down to a reasonable level. Clearly, none of you have had to live under the oppression brought on by mosquitoes.

Releasing it in the wild No collection of data Let it flow into it The objective to wipe out dengue mosquitoes Plaguing the people in the tropical climate The scientists jump up with joy Shake hands smile on their faces Do they find what happen? When GMC mosquitoes do the job What will the mutation be like? Remember in the natural wild What about Ying and Yang? There isn’t anything for free Playing god to ease a problem A bigger one arrives Will the scientists know how to handle? I remember in America GMC insects to protect corn fields Now the scientists don’t know how to do The insects have mutated differently Now GMC mosquitoes Let it flies freely When the job done What will happen in the end? O GMC mosquitoes!
Releasing it in the wild
No collection of data
Let it flow into it

The objective to wipe out dengue mosquitoes
Plaguing the people in the tropical climate
The scientists jump up with joy
Shake hands smile on their faces

Do they find what happen?
When GMC mosquitoes do the job
What will the mutation be like?
Remember in the natural wild

What about Ying and Yang?
There isn’t anything for free
Playing god to ease a problem
A bigger one arrives
Will the scientists know how to handle?

I remember in America
GMC insects to protect corn fields
Now the scientists don’t know how to do
The insects have mutated differently

Now GMC mosquitoes
Let it flies freely
When the job done
What will happen in the end?
