bioweaponry

Bioweaponry refers to the use of biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins, as weapons to harm or kill humans, animals, or plants. These agents are intentionally designed or modified to cause disease or death. Bioweapons can be deployed in various ways, including through aerosols, contaminated food, or water supplies. Their use is heavily regulated under international law due to ethical concerns and the potential for widespread devastation. The threat of bioweaponry raises significant security issues, as it poses risks not only in warfare but also in terrorism and biological warfare scenarios.
