Has anyone seen the movie "Children of Men"? I realize mosquitoes hardly, if at all, share dna with people but my imagination immediately jumped to wondering what if modified mosquitoes managed to spread their sterility to humans? Mosquitos are nature's ideal assassin of mankind. Arming them with the seeds of our despair would be a great misfortune.

Agreed, if we make all females of their species sterile, who is to say that the males won't cuck us and start mating with the females of our species? Any female born from a mosquito/human coupling would likely be sterile as well.
