To summarize your blog, your biggest gripe is that it might not work, and that doing a test that may not work isn't worth the risk because "GMO bad".

Jesus Christ, millions of people have malaria, it's a life-ruining disease. This is some of the worst luddite nonsense I've ever read.

I don't get the GMO-bad crowd. Before GMO crops, you would take seeds and irradiate them. Then plant them and see what interesting mutations happen. And somehow GMO is worse than that? SMH
