Genetic engineering is already a plague itself in this world. Engineering animals to carry vaccines?, completely unethical. Hopefully, this will never be viewed by the human public as acceptable, but what about those voiceless animals O'Brachta is suggesting could use the engineered mosquitoes? This could alter the path of evolution, yet again. When are humans going to stop trying to change our earth? Yes, we may have caused many of the diseases that are plaguing wild animals, but is releasing vaccinated mosquitoes the right solution? I don't think so. Who's to say those zoophilic insects would never breed outside of their species and eventually get to humans? Stop this GMO nonsense. This is disgusting.

I envision flu shots etc. of the future looking like that 'Off' bug repellent commercial from years ago where the man sticks his arm in a tank full of mosquitos--A new meaning to "roll up your sleeve" Very interesting- What I’d worry about however is if this technology got into the wrong hands and was used as some sort of weapon.
