It seems to me that this whole program, if not intended, may have disasterous results. Genetic modification of our food supply by current means is bad enough. To introduce an insect carrying genetically modified genes is total madness. One more than one occasion, man has introduced a foreign life form into the environment to deal with an existing problem. Many times resulting in a bigger problem. We currently deal with invasive species on a regular basis. Whether acqutic, plant, insect or animal, invasive species can gain a foot hold and prove to cause more than ever imagined. Just one little fact about insects is that they already out number humans 200 million to 1.
