And so even though you could be wrong you're prepared to take this gamble? Both genetics and ecology are hugely complex subjects that no one is even close to fully understanding. So we don't know in advance that this will be ultimately beneficial for humans, don't know that the success (for humans) of a previous program for mosquitos will translate into success here, we don't know that infertility won't be circumvented by other genetic factors, don't know that the modification won't become a permanent part of that moth's gene pool, what effects that will have on the moths, don't know how it will affect species that consume these moths and don't know how this will affect the numbers of species these moths consume. And we don't mind that the profits made will probably be private and any costs socialised or paid by the wider ecosystem. But meh, let's not apply the precautionary principle. Let's just roll the dice with an unknown number of sides.
