Genetiska vapen – med DNA som maktmedel

Vad händer om vår arvsmassa används för att skada oss? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Genteknikerna har utvecklats enormt de senaste decennierna, och inneburit stora vinster för sjukvården. Men med forskningens framsteg kommer också nya risker. Experter har varnat för allt från skräddarsydda biologiska vapen till DNA-baserade underrättelsemetoder och supersoldater. Hur bra är vi egentligen på att skydda vår genetiska information, och hur rädda bör vi vara om den?Programledare och producent: Wendela Antepohl & Anna LillkungMedverkandeDavid Gisselsson Nord - Läkare, professor i molekylär patologi och vice dekan i beredskapssäkerhet vid Lunds universitet.Filippa Lentzos - Docent vid avdelningen för krigsstudier vid King’s College i London och expert på biosäkerhet.Bill Drexel - Forskare inom internationell IT-säkerhet vid Hudson institutet i Washington DC.BöckerGenome Editing and Biological Weapons - Assessing the Risks of Misuse (Katherine Paris, 2023)Artiklar/källor i urvalHacking the President’s DNA (The Atlantic, 2012)Mitigating Risks from Gene Editing and Synthetic Biology: Global Governance Priorities (Carnegie Endowment for international peace, 2024)Scientific Risk Assessment of Genetic Weapon Systems (James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, 2021)Safely balancing a double-edged blade: identifying and mitigating emerging biosecurity risks in precision medicine (National Library of Medicine, 2024)The Security Implications of Developments in Biotechnology (The International Institute for Strategic Studies, 2025)Dna som maktmedel i hybridkrigföring (FHS, 2025)Genetic Warfare: Super Humans And The Law (North Carolina Central University, 2019)Gene-edited super-soldiers with AI power could be unleashed by China, warns US report (2025)Weaponized genomics: potential threats to international and human security (Nature reviews genetics, 2023)Large-Scale Nightmare or Precision Tool for Covert Operations?
