GERMAN EPISODE Biowaffen haben zum Glück in der Geschichte der Menschheit nur selten Anwendung gefunden – sind sie doch zu unkontrollierbar. Doch mit den Technologien der Biorevolution eröffnen sich neue Möglichkeiten in der Herstellung schädlicher biologischer Agenzien – mit böser Intention von Staaten, Terroristen und sogenannten Biohackern, doch auch wohlmeinenden und unbedachten Wissenschaftlern. In dieser Folge sprechen Andreas Horchler und Louise von Stechow über die Geschichte der Biowaffen, über neue Möglichkeiten und alte Ängste.
