Lady Jan asks, "They made a better Mosquito?"

I can't believe it! Here it the beginning of mosquito season and they announced on the news that they made a better mosquito.

Why?

Was there something wrong with the old ones?

Apparently there was, so Johns Hopkins University breed or sliced and diced a new and
genetically engineered new and improved mosquito that doesn't pass along malaria as it bites you.

And get this; the new genetically engineered mosquitoes it out breeds the old mosquitoes too.

So does that mean we'll have more of the new mosquito?

I guess so.

So I have a question for the good people at Johns Hopkins University that breed this new mosquito.

If you wanted to breed a new mosquito, why didn't you design one that doesn't bite?
