@mchaste @dyctiostelium I can think of no reason why you'd say that without data to back it up. Mosquitoes kill more humans than humans.

@dyctiostelium@slightlylate well, wiping out an entire sub-species of insects sounds pretty radical to me.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mchaste@slightlylate You said "intervening through GE dangerous". Now I'm curious if you're against the ends or the means. And why :)1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@dyctiostelium@slightlylate the means for sure. I think it's human arrogance to alter DNA of mosquitos to wipe them out with no way back3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@dyctiostelium really! You’re using one research as evidence. Sorry, end of discussion.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mchaste Uh? "One research?" How many do you want? Or how does "evidence" works in your view? cc@slightlylate3 replies 0 retweets 1 like
@dyctiostelium : and, of course @mchaste is perhaps right to point out that change is a vector -- the direction can be negative.
