GMO Mosequitoes Solve Pesticide Issues People are Afraid of Turning Into Mutants

I can't actually find any research on potential ecological impacts of making mosquitoes extinct, so it's entirely possible that this there-will-be-no-consequences business is just a bunch of ecologists talking out of their collective ass in a magazine. I was able to find THAT easily.

That said, I don't really see any problem with trying it in some places to see how it goes. I doubt it would work on a global scale anyway. Controlling populations, sure, but actually making them go extinct? Well, like I said, I doubt it.
