Genetic weapons are weapons that can purposefully destroy members of a particular race.
November 2002. In China, an epidemic of SARS breaks out, thousands of people have the same symptoms: chills, cough and fever. All patients are diagnosed with pneumonia, but none of the existing drugs helps. As a result, many cannot be saved.
A month later, an unknown disease is already walking around the world, no one knows where the new virus came from, and what it is. After careful research, Chinese scientists declare: almost 100% of those infected with this disease are ethnic Chinese, out of 813 dead - 770 people are representatives of the Middle Kingdom. And this means that someone was testing a new genetic weapon directed specifically against the Chinese.
For the first time, the development of genetic weapons was openly discussed in the mid-1980s. XX century. In South Africa, tests were officially conducted of a substance that destroys only black people, supposedly entering the body of a black man, it turns off certain genes, and this leads to serious illness and even death. According to eyewitnesses, in South African laboratories, blacks were fed contaminated corn and watered beer, which had been added to the killer gene.
Soon the tests had to be stopped, it turned out that the new weapon threatens not only the inhabitants of Africa, because there are practically no ethnically pure races and nations left in the whole world, which means that the killer gene can get out of control and start killing everyone.
Despite this, any country dreams of replenishing its arsenal with genetic weapons. After getting a killer gene, you can actually control the whole world, wiping out entire states from the face of the earth, and the fact that it was the killer gene that caused mutations, epidemics and mass death of the population, no one can ever prove.
In 1975, any research in this area was prohibited by a special convention, and the country was obliged to destroy all stocks of such weapons, but the development continued only secretly, according to many experts, they are still being carried out under the guise of medical research. In 1998, US scientists announced a unique discovery. They artificially grown a fragment of interfering RNA, entering the human body, this molecule is capable of destroying certain predetermined combinations of genes. In other words, RNA is introduced into the process of human life and turns off the victims.
Once in the body, a killer molecule finds the necessary DNA, integrates into the gene chain and blocks the necessary sections, which means that in this way you can turn off bad genes that lead to the development of cancer, diabetes, blindness and other incurable diseases. But if it is possible to block disease-causing genes, then the same can be done with vital human cells.

Already, researchers know exactly the combination of genes responsible for the production of sex hormones. That is, the reproductive instinct at the genetic level can be artificially suppressed or, on the contrary, stimulated. Thus, from the outside to regulate the birth rate in a particular country.
But doctors around the world do not want to sound the alarm yet. The only way to introduce killer RNA into the human body is to inject it through the blood, in other words, it can be administered to the victim intravenously with medications or vaccines. But this method is not only very expensive and time consuming, but also extremely dangerous. Indeed, in the event of a sudden mass death of the population, the perpetrators can be quickly calculated: whoever sold the infected vaccine is the killer.
Therefore, scientists of secret laboratories have been thinking about other methods of delivering the molecule into the human body for several years. So far, the easiest and cheapest way is being considered - through food. But here, too, there is one obstacle: the killer gene is not absorbed through the digestive tract.
Vladimir Ivkov, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences:
Everything is broken down in the intestinal tract, and only individual monomers are absorbed, which practically do not carry this genetic information. You need to have an appropriate viral envelope in order to be able to penetrate into cells, because a virus is a natural natural system. Only viruses can safely deliver the killer gene into the body.
