比尔•盖茨将斥资400万美元培育转基因“杀手蚊”
Bill Gates donates $4M to create mosquitoes that kill each other using sex 比尔•盖茨将斥资400万美元研发通过交配减少蚊子数量的“杀手蚊”。这一大胆尝试旨在遏制疟疾等疾病的传播，因为一些致命疾病常通过受感染的蚊子叮咬传染。 Tech mogul Bill Gates will use funds from his own charity organization to eradicate malaria "within a generation." 科技巨头盖茨将利用其慈善机构比尔和梅琳达•盖茨基金会的资金，在“一代”之内根除疟疾。 The plan is to create genetically modified male mosquitoes that mate with their female counterparts in the wild. 环境保护慈善机构“地球之友”严厉批评了Oxitec公司的研究。 Back in 2012, Friends of the Earth's Eric Hoffman said: "Trials of its mosquitoes must not move forward in the absence of comprehensive and impartial reviews of the environmental, human health and ethical risks." 2012年，“地球之友”的埃里克-霍夫曼说：“在没有全面、公正地审查环境、人类健康和道德风险的情况下，Oxitec公司的蚊子实验绝不能进一步推进。” In a statement at the time, Friends of the Earth said: "The GM mosquitoes are intended to reduce the wild population by mating with naturally occurring mosquitoes and producing progeny which don’t survive, thus reducing the population and therefore the transmission of the tropical disease dengue fever.
