The paper contends that the ongoing controversy surrounding the creation of a contagious H5N1 influenza virus has already exposed the severe limitations of the possibility of preventing the hostile misuse of the life sciences by dint of oversight of proposals and publications. It further argues that in order to prevent the potential wholesale militarisation of the life sciences, it is essential that life scientists become aware of their responsibilities within the context of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) and actively contribute their expertise to strengthening the biological weapons non-proliferation regime .
该论文认为，围绕制造具有传染性的H5N1流感病毒的持续争议已经暴露出，通过对提案和出版物的审查来防止生命科学被恶意滥用的可能性存在严重局限性。论文还指出，为防止生命科学可能出现的全面军事化，生命科学家必须意识到他们在《生物和毒素武器公约》（BTWC）框架内的责任，并积极贡献其专业知识，以加强生物武器不扩散制度。
