This is what vegans want. They want to take your virile bloodsucking proboscus and replace it with a limp dick fruit licker.

It's a nice idea. But I wonder what the long term ramifications might be. What ripple effects might happen that we can't see today that end up being problems in the future.
Human history is littered with such problems.
Hey, most bugs are cool and an important part of their ecosystem.
Mosquitoes tho ? Yeah, fuck them.
Why not just eradicate them? Genuine question. I don't think they serve any purpose in nature and are just pissing off every living being.
Eradication is really hard. If you just kill mosquitoes in a certain area, what's gonna stop them from coming back? You're just not gonna get all of them.
This way you introduce a mutation that can actually propagate through the gene pool, disabling the undesired trait for future generations. It's also highly selective, so that you don't accidentally get rid of other species or poison an area with pesticides.
Also living beings have no "purpose". They fill an evolutionary niche and shape the ecological system around them. The piss off us, so we play a little god, but nature has no opinions or morals whatsoever.
Many species of mosquitos are reliant on blood for reproduction. The females utilize a "blood meal" for the nutrients for laying eggs to be fertilized. Additionally, it is the female mosquito bite that transmits diseases like malaria.
Yeah but those little bastards started it. People call what's happening in Gaza a genocide but that's nothing compared with the mozzie kill count.
Do vegans support this because it prevents mosquitoes from consuming animal flesh, or do they oppose it because it denies the mosquitoes their nature?
lol its soon gonna be us. and you bet they will be selling it as a great thing at first.
"sir, there's been a complication...it seems the mosquitoes with our gene are dying off in water ways and directly polluting the waters....humans may never be erect again."
Surely this won't have any knock on effects with the food chain...
Why make them flaccid instead of just killing them?
Most species are invasive and not part of the natural ecosystem of most places anyway.
The idea is to introduce this genetic expression into wild mosquito populations. That way, the inevitable act of mosquito reproduction lowers the next generation's reproduction rate.
