Not all scientists think that genetically modified mosquitoes are such a good idea. Some scientists think there are too many genetic puzzles to be solved for modified mosquitoes to work. For example: the malaria-causing parasite, which mosquitoes then transmit to humans, is simply too good at evading anything scientists might devise to protect the mosquito. Whenever mosquitoes have developed genes resistant to the malaria-causing parasite, the parasite has always found a way around it.

I at times get nauseated when I think of all the money some individuals have. Take Mr. Bill Gates for example. The last time I heard he had amassed over $50 billion dollars. Why would anyone need so much money? It just doesn't make much sense to have a huge house with more rooms in it than he could possibly manage. And to top it off, when he dies he won't take one penny of it with him. Why that means that $500 million dollars to him would be like 1 penny out of a single dollar.
