I don't know. My hesitation isn't so much ethical as intellectual. I don't think humans, as intelligent as we are, always see the far-reaching effects of an act until it's too late. Sure, mosquitoes seem useless and are certainly dangerous, but are we sure there won't be unforeseen consequences? Is it worth the risk?
