Night Waves

5 July 2004

The smallpox virus has changed the course of history, helped create empires and wiped out indigenous peoples. In 1979 smallpox became the first disease to be "eradicated". Yet the disease is still with us, in labs around the world, and with the threat of biological warfare ever present the virus sits at the heart of a profound ethical debate: do we have the right to destroy a living organism?

Paul Allen presents.
