I mean Genetically Modified Organisms, used as a weapon...

What kind of weapons ?

Biologic weapon, ecologic weapon, Economic weapon. All that you can imagine :

For example, you can creat and sell in foreign countries some GM plants with a shorter life duration than those you sell in your own counrties.

We know that GM contaminate it's own species and also other species, you can imagine that some BT compagnies, working secret for a governement start to commercialize on a concurent market a product with pre-programmed abnormalities.

Have you never tought that, mad cow in europe, or the chicken fever in asia can be biologic weapons created in laboritaries for a goal of a secret war ?

Actually, sincerely, the biological threat is far far more dangerous than any threat ever...

I am vehemntly opposed to bio-weapons after I saw a documentary that visited the Kurds who survived Saddam Hussien's Bio-weapon attacks.

It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed in my life.
Everyone should to watch it. It would sure wake alot of people up.

What worries me is that they could one day accidentally create something that is uncontrolable and then accidentally set it loose on the world. It is indeed very scary stuff.

I can tell you that they still have done such a thing. Remember EBOLA ?

Regardless of the means of the political reasons, Biologically engineered weapons are horrific.

After I saw what bio-engineering could do to human beings, I was changed forever.

As awful as this sounds, I actually thought that some of the Kurdish survivors might have been better of dying in the attacks. It was that bad.

I saw this, sure.

We start having trouble also with GM-organism like maize.

Everything the human being touch become a destruction piece.

I think that science is a sort of malediction for the human kind : It's necessary for our progress but it also bring us all in a certain death...
