Look its a fact that malaria kills a million people per year. It's also seems to be a fact that most of those deaths could be prevented by wider use of DDT, because at one time several decades back worldwide malaria deaths numbered in the thousands. So I can't see how one can morally argue against wider use of DDT unless you believe DDT will kill more than the million per year it will save. Why, exactly is DDT not more widely used? Why exactly are all the environmentalists and governments opposing its use. And please don't tell me the reason is that they value an alligator's virility over African lives. You know it isn't. No, I don't know why DDT isn't more widely used. I think any country with a high malaria death toll which isn't using DDT is making a horrible mistake. I also don't know why corn meal made from genetically modified corn can't be fed to hungry people.
