"The mosquito has killed more humans than any other creature in human history.. more humans than wars and plague." -Hadyn Parry. Hadyn is CEO of "OXITEC", a British biotech company that has developed an inexpensive and safe solution to the growing danger posed to public health by exploding mosquito populations worldwide. This technology is capable of reducing the mosquito population in treated areas by up to 80%, in just four months, and is safe enough that the Brazilian government has started deployment efforts on a massive scale. I petition for additional research by the FDA into this technology. The public benefits outweigh the minimal funding this already developed technology requires to be ratified as 100% safe. Not to mention the health care cost savings. http://on.ted.com/Parry
