Hmm i dunno bout you, but this new GM glow in the dark mosquitoe to eradicate malaria seems a bit creepy.

It has twice the survival rate of its normal counterparts, and can breed twice as much too, meaning that the population of mosquitoes will hence double once this GM mosquitoe takes over the normal Anopheles spesies of mosquitoes.

Glow in the dark?! How would you feel if you switched off the lights and see 2 glow in the dark stuff flying around? I suppose that would make them easier to swat >.<

And I suppose its a very good way to eradicate malaria..if nothing goes wrong.

But somehow its like interfering with evolution and the normal life cycle and food pyramid etc.

Hmm.
