In the world of synthetic biology, a microbe is seen as a structural frame on which to add genes & DNA. The microbe will be tested and have its performance improved, so it can hopefully do something useful for the world.
But this potential to modify living organisms and steer them toward global problems is often met with a dark side.
The National Academies of Science released a major report titled Biodefense in the Age of Synthetic Biology with a ranked list of threat concerns. High on the list is recreating known pathogenic viruses ...

Rusty Danger: How Barbed Wire Could Breach War Laws #shorts
Discover the hidden dangers of rusty barbed wire in this eye-opening video, where we explore its potential as an unintended weapon in biological warfare. Rust, often dismissed as mere discoloration, harbors tetanus-causing bacteria that can turn minor accidents into lethal encounters. We delve into how exposure to this seemingly innocuous hazard without immediate medical intervention can escalate into severe, life-threatening infections. Furthermore, we discuss the legal implications and potential violations of international laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, when rusty barbed wire is knowingly used in conflict zones. Tune in to uncover the dark side of this common battlefield remnant. Don’t forget to like and share this video to spread awareness!

The Ultimate Guide to Chemical Weapons
Chemical weapons are truly weapons of mass destruction; their capacity for the destruction of human life can be hard to fathom. From the cruelty of Mustard Gas to the lethality of VX, these weapons have made warfare an even more terrible phenomenon. In fact, one of the worst features of the Great War was the widespread use of lethal chemical agents. But what are these chemicals and where did they come from? What classes of chemical weapons are there and how do they work? What is their military purpose? This guide will tell you everything you need to know about chemical agents, from how they work and how they kill, to their current legal status under international law.

In the world of synthetic biology, a microbe is seen as a structural frame on which to add genes & DNA. The microbe will be tested and have its performance improved, so it can hopefully do something useful for the world.
But this potential to modify living organisms and steer them toward global problems is often met with a dark side.
The National Academies of Science released a major report titled Biodefense in the Age of Synthetic Biology with a ranked list of threat concerns. High on the list is recreating known pathogenic viruses and making existing bacteria more dangerous, lowest is modifying the human genome with gene drives
The NAS synthetic biology report includes some suggestions that involve developing detection tools and computational approaches that can better screen for any rogue engineered organisms. And this is exactly what Ginkgo Bioworks, a synthetic organism factory, is working on.
Learn more about how synthetic biology—including DNA synthesis and gene editing—has increased severity of threats, and how real these threats really are on this episode of Focal Point.

The man who stopped America’s biological weapons program

“Today, the use of biological weapons is almost unthinkable. But this wasn’t true in the 1960s, when the US government stockpiled such weapons and work continued on developing new, more effective variants. There was an agreement about the use of biological weapons — the post-World War I Geneva Protocol, which also covered chemical weapons — but the United States wasn’t among the signatories to it.”
Synthetic biology raises risk of new bioweapons, US report warns

“The rapid rise of synthetic biology, a futuristic field of science that seeks to master the machinery of life, has raised the risk of a new generation of bioweapons, according a major US report into the state of the art.”
Russian and American use of Yersinia pestis as a Biological Weapon
http://www.montana.edu/historybug/yersiniaessays/hale.html
“By the mid 1990’s, it became obvious to the United States government that the threat of biological warfare was more than just hypothetical. Even though the United States and Russia, among other countries, signed a ban on the development of biological weapons during the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention of 1972, doubts lingered around the intentions embedded in the signatures.”

Discover the hidden dangers of rusty barbed wire in this eye-opening video, where we explore its potential as an unintended weapon in biological warfare. Rust, often dismissed as mere discoloration, harbors tetanus-causing bacteria that can turn minor accidents into lethal encounters. We delve into how exposure to this seemingly innocuous hazard without immediate medical intervention can escalate into severe, life-threatening infections. Furthermore, we discuss the legal implications and potential violations of international laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, when rusty barbed wire is knowingly used in conflict zones. Tune in to uncover the dark side of this common battlefield remnant. Don’t forget to like and share this video to spread awareness!

Chemical weapons are truly weapons of mass destruction; their capacity for the destruction of human life can be hard to fathom. From the cruelty of Mustard Gas to the lethality of VX, these weapons have made warfare an even more terrible phenomenon. In fact, one of the worst features of the Great War was the widespread use of lethal chemical agents. But what are these chemicals and where did they come from? What classes of chemical weapons are there and how do they work? What is their military purpose? This guide will tell you everything you need to know about chemical agents, from how they work and how they kill, to their current legal status under international law.
