Is your appeal to authority really the Simpsons? Thalidomide had nothing to do with the changes in how drugs are approved. The thalidomide "problem" was solved by never testing drugs in pregant women - of course if you are pregnant and get ill then tough luck. The FDA has nothing to do with the regulation of genetically modified mosquitos as it is outside its regulatory control. Yes plenty of people are trying to kill this idea and yes these people have slowed and will probably stop this idea ever being used. I would like them to be held responsible for the millions of deaths that result.
