The American National Academy of Sciences has warned that, “Just a few individuals with specialized skills…could inexpensively and easily produce a panoply of lethal biological weapons.…The deciphering of the human genome sequence and the complete elucidation of numerous pathogen genomes…allow science to be misused to create new agents of mass destruction.”
El desciframiento de la secuencia del genoma humano y la elucidación completa de numerosos genes patógenos... crea el riesgo de que se abuse de la ciencia para crear nuevos agentes de destrucción masiva".
