Mosquitoes With a Useful Bite
The obvious answer to public resistance to releasing genetically engineered mosquitoes into the wild is to have the mosquitoes deliver something of use to society when they bite (“Building a Better Mosquito,†by Michael D’Antonio, Sept. 2). Engineer them to deliver vitamins, a vaccine or, better yet, Viagra. Civic leaders the world over (most being male) would be clamoring for a local release of the little bloodsuckers!
