The global biosecurity threat is increasing due to easily accessible genetic editing technologies and the growing understanding of pathogens' genetic makeups that enhance their danger.
Almost no country regulates biological threats adequately, risking a future where gene-editing tools could be misused to create dangerous pathogens from scratch.
With affordable gene-editing tools, a person intent on harm could create highly lethal airborne viruses that combine deadly traits from various pathogens.
If dangerous genetic manipulations are carried out, the sheer speed of potential outbreaks may outpace our ability to develop effective vaccines and responses.
