Biological Warfare Research

Biological warfare research involves the study and development of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, for use as weapons. It focuses on understanding how these microorganisms can be manipulated to cause disease in humans, animals, or plants. This research raises ethical and safety concerns due to the potential for misuse or accidental release of harmful agents. While some countries may conduct such research for defense purposes, it is heavily regulated under international law to prevent bioweapons proliferation and protect public health. The ultimate goal should be to develop preventive measures and treatments rather than offensive capabilities.
