RE: The continuing evolution of mosquito nets may spell the end of suffering from mosquito-borne diseases

in #steemstem6 years ago

Yeah, I doubt there’s much rejection based on wanting all-natural organic net instead. If you’re in an area where a mosquito net is recommended then you’ve likely seen what nature can do and will take anything to protect you from it.

There’s a lot of debate along those lines when it comes to the genetic engineering approaches. The disease carrying mosquitos are only a few species out of many so there is a likelihood another will fill their niche in the eco system if we get a little genocidey at some point in the future. I’m also somewhat in the camp of: why not wipe them all out? we’ve accidently done it to so many other species we might as well add one that causes an outsized proportion of our suffering to the list.
