> If you make a gene drive you are a scientist. These days, introducing a known mutation via a CRISPR gene drive is engineering. The hard part is scaling it so your mutation doesn't die out, testing to ensure that it is actually propagating, etc. > Hopefully whoever decides to just go do it has the sense to only target mosquitoes that preferentially feed on humans. You have to repeat a considerable amount work for every single target species. I highly doubt they'd target more than one.
