The Ethical Dilemma of Bioterrorism

A bunch of scientists went up to Alaska where they were graves in the permafrost from the 1918 flu victims. The fact that it was in permafrost means that the conditions where such that the bodies could be preserved a lot longer. From that isolated RNA virus, the influenza virus that caused the 1918 flu, they sequenced it and they recreated it. But this also brings to mind the ethical dilemma of such work.
