1/ Turning it on
According to Kyle Hill @Sci_Phile, if a lightsaber can cut through a blast door, it would have to be radiating enough heat to set everyone around it on fire as soon as it is turned on (i.e. like standing next to the sun hot).

2/ Peace drug side effect
The Alliance creates a drug called G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate (The PAX) & trials it on the planet Miranda. It is amazingly effective, turning 99.9% of people into peaceful unambitious drones.
The remaining 0.1% go crazy & turn into homicidal maniacs.

3/ Dragonslayer
This was actually spoken by “The Doctor" from USS Voyager.
Fun fact, for an ad for Trivial Pursuit someone asks DeForest Kelley (original actor):
"How many chambers are there in a human heart?"
He replies
"How should I know? I'm an actor, not a doctor!"

4/ Oncocidal drugs
On Eros, Holden was eradiated & had to take ongoing oncocidal drugs to prevent cancer (also good at killing alien bugs).
The protomolecule infection turned people into vomit zombies then a transdimensional gate.
Holden did have a mixture of DNA from 8 people
