Biological Warfare (BW)

Biological Warfare (BW) involves using pathogens or toxins—such as bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms—to intentionally cause disease, suffering, or death in humans, animals, or plants. It aims to incapacitate or eliminate adversaries without conventional weapons, often by spreading these agents covertly or deliberately. BW is highly controversial and considered a violation of international agreements, due to its potential for uncontrollable spread, ethical concerns, and severe health impacts. Its development, production, and use are strictly regulated under treaties like the Biological Weapons Convention to prevent misuse and protect global security.
