Exterminate Mosquitoes from the World!
Zika virus crisis, which is gripping Brazil and many of its neighboring countries, has shown the world the need for a concerted global effort against the most useless family of species in the world - the mosquitoes. Microcephaly is not a condition anyone would ever wish upon his worst enemy's kid. The crisis has also created a problem for the moral philosophy of Pope (whom I admire very much) and the Vatican. Contraception may become necessary in these cases, you don't want to have children when the child may be born to die early. Catholicism will need to give contraception (especially one that protects against STDs as well) the respect it deserves. The Vatican will also need to respect the individual female right to abort a fetus in such cases, but of course, within the confines of the law of the land (most countries don't allow abortion post certain weeks of pregnancy).
Getting back to the topic at hand, mosquito eradication is not impossible, unlike what some people may want us to think. All previous attempts at their eradication, have been through chemicals. Today we have the technology to eradicate them genetically, biologically. British scientists had, years ago, grown male mosquitoes in lab that would mate with females and reproduce only male children - that would have the same ability. Meaning, those male mosquitoes, born to the genetically engineered mosquitoes, will mate with females only to reproduce males. This cycle will continue and grow exponentially, till all the female mosquitoes have died out and no new ones are born. This will end their species. Genetic weapons like these, need to be created and spread, to eradicate all species of mosquitoes. Science is there, all that is needed is international political will and monetary resources (fund the WHO and Red Cross, people).
