Millions of GMO Mosquitoes to be Set Loose in Florida Keys

In The Lip TV on YouTube by Hlarson0 Comments

Millions of genetically modified mosquitoes could be released in the Florida Keys if British researchers win approval from the FDA to use the insects as a drug against two viral diseases. British biotech company Oxitec will be conducting the experiment in order to combat dengue fever and chikungunya. Over 130,000 people, who are seemingly frightened at the idea, have signed a petition against the experiment on Change.org. Do the benefits outweigh the risks? We take a look at the effort to use GMO insects to combat disease, in this Lip News clip with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
