FrankenThursday’s where it gets a bit freaky. I’m not sure though if i like self-terminating mosquitoes. Surely some even more freaky mosquitoes would evolve from this.

Quick facts: The GMMosquitoes were genetically engineered to kill off Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which spread dengue fever. The Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation is funding this project and Malaysia is set to undergo field trials of these frankencritters this year.
