Gene-hacking mosquitos fails - why am I not surprised?

Mr. Peabody:
To top it off, I was thinking about the progress of this effort yesterday, as I was outside swatting a few.

Well it kind of did, Jennifer has no desire to manipulate mosquito DNA with that of a frog...That would be a mean, green flying beast, that lances you with its little spear thing...Yes but no thanks I will just stay in the Jeep and wait for some old dude to come save this Princess.
Howard_Casto:
I hate to tell you guys this, but we've been doing genetic manipulation since the 1600s....possibly before... just via selective breeding and cross-breeding.  It's why corn looks nothing like maze anymore and dogs look like varying degrees of genetic monstrosities instead of like wolves.  Long story short, genetic manipulation is fine and it's here to stay... you've all been watching too much bad sci-fi.  Right now companies like Dupont are sitting on genetically manipulated wheat and rice that is, cheap, high-yield, plague resistant and drought resistant that starving African countries refuse to take due to mis-information like the stuff you guys are spreading. 
jennifer:
I can't imagine why they wouldn't want bio food, don't really care who makes it,...I suppose you could eat some of that genetics meat in front of them and prove once and for all you won't grow a tumor on your neck in the shape of a foot.
