About this listen
Mosquitoes carry diseases that kill more than 700,000 people every year... but do they deserve a death sentence? On this episode, we discuss a controversial technology called a "gene drive" that could allow us to wipe out disease-carrying mosquitoes. Should we use it? And what could go wrong?
Highlights: what male mosquitoes eat, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, flesh-eating maggots, Nazis dropping mosquitoes out of airplanes
