GMO Mosquitos is not a new show on FX, but rather reality that may be coming to the Florida Keys in the very near future. Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is responsible for the spread of the Zika virus, has been found in Florida, and thus the push to get these genetically modified mosquitoes released has become of utmost priority, for some.
Oxitec, the British producer of the GMO mosquite, is pushing for the release as well. CEO, Hadyn Parry said, “This mosquito is non-native to the US and difficult to control, with the best available methods only able to reduce the population by up to 50 percent, which is simply not enough.”
The rising risk of a mosquito infestation and disease outbreak presents an opportunity for one British firm, Oxitec, which has developed a method for breeding Aedes aegypti that kills mosquito larvae, AP reported.
According to Oxitec’s website, the process involves injecting a “lethal gene” into either the male sperm or female egg that eventually kills the offspring, according to Truth and Action.
However, not everyone is on board, as some residents of the Keys have collected 160,000 signatures to petition against the release. There has been bitter opposition by those who are staunchly againt the “genetic modification industry”.

It takes .8 of a gallon of diesel fuel to produce 1 gallon of ethanol.
The fertilizer used to raise the corn for ethanol production is imported into the US from the oil producing countries in the Middle East because the EPA will not allow it to be made here.
Ethanol raises the cost of both fuel and food since corn is not being grown for consumption.
Farmers are paid a tax subsidy to raise corn for ethanol and we are paying for this, even though it is also raising the cost of our fuel and food.
Ethanol is a Big Government waste of our money and resources.

My point just cause mosquitoes carry a disease only you can keep yourself from getting as many times I’ve been bitten it’s not easy to find the carrier of the mosquito.
Basically they had the Zika virus for 60 years, but now this ‘virus’ is acting like a VD, and I might surmise they used the herpes virus as a vehicle to latch the relatively unknown Zija virus onto it so it can spread Faster than any other delivery option, which is why they’re genetically modifying these mosquitoes, the Zika virus is an African virus, but it appeared where they first released the GMO Mosquitoes, causing Birth defects and making many municipalities who were predominantly Catholic consider abortions, which plays into the hands of the Population reduction and Agenda 21 crowd, In effect they want to stop our ability to procreate without permission.
Then explain to us just WHY the Zika virus appeared in a completely different continent from where the Zija virus was found 60 years ago, when they Released their first batch of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes? the Zika virus spread coincides with the release of those GMO Mosquitoes. Explain this. (PS: the Zika Virus is an AFRICAN virus, NOT A South American one).
Bill Shields Not really what GMO means is taking a completely unrelated gene and inserting it into the anial that otherwise would NOT have gotten there without human intervention, what you are explaining is Selective breeding of traits desired by mankind fromt he genetic material on hand. Genetic Modification is relatively new and has Never been done for ‘thousands’ of years. Taking the gene of a pig and putting it in a sheep is GMO, those genes are vastly and completely different, and would NEVER be able to be achieved by selevtive breeding because nature doesnt allow it. It in effect does NOT happen naturally In Nature. GMO is human intentional tinkering with genes that would Never happen naturally whether selective breeding or not.
Ed Smith A lot of what was deemed ‘polio’ in the day wasnt true Polio but other paralyzing ailments that were eliminated as ‘polio’ hence your reduction of that ailment by the medical system of its time, the reason why Polio is not the scourge it is today is due in large part on the account of Much better hygeine practices in and outside of Hospitals, NOT by Vaccines. might wanna read up on the truth on that issue some.
Valerie Wencka Putting genes into a creature that never would have otherwise had ever happened naturally ‘selective breeding or no’ is an abomination and should be Outlawed.
Christopher Hensley Yeah chemo came from the toxic byproducs of WW1
it encourages abortion
