Factors in illicit bioweapons programs
Germ weapons can devastate human, animal, and plant populations, and the universe of possible biowarfare agents is expanding with advances such as CRISPR and AI. Political leaders order the development and use of weapons, and they also pass laws and establish regulations and policies to govern their societies. Such political factors can frame the choice of biological agents; the characteristics of research, development, testing, and production pr…
Pathogens and Arms Control
Revolutionary advances in the life sciences are poised to have a transformative global impact. However, today's cutting-edge life-sciences techniques, knowledge, materials and equipment can also be deliberately or inadvertently misapplied, with potentially catastrophic effects. Several recent experiments have sparked debate over the need for stepped-up oversight of life-sciences research. With varying degrees of success, in advance of regulatory …
