Bioengineering - The Potential for Bioterrorism
The potential for bad actors to intentionally produce new or modified pathagans using modern bi technology is harrowing, ranging further and reaching higher. Nature may not prove a peerless bioterrorist dangers that emerge by evolutionary accident could be surpassed by deliberate design. Hints of this can be seen in scientific literature. The gain of function in influenza experiments suggested that artificial selection could lead to pathagans with properties that enhance their danger.
