Of course part of this is stem cell research, and some people think killing a zygote/fetus should count as murder, but that's a debate I don't feel like getting into.

It's about using genetic engineering to killing off an entire species of animals (in this case mosquitoes), don't you think that's a bit different than using a tool like electricity?

I didn't really read it to know it's about killing mosquitos, but since they're vectors for malaria and who knows what else, I say it's not unethical to get rid of them. I'm sure the world will produce something as equally horrible in the sbcense of this evil.
