Would the FDA even be the right group? I mean, I know it's a medical thing. But it's not a procedure, or drug or device. They released a modified living thing into the environment. That seems an EPA kinda thing to me.
FDA is the right group IMO. A GMO mosquito is technically speaking a drug as it will come in contact with humans and will impact their health in some way or another.
