MY OPINIONS AND VIEWS ON THE ISSUES
Put briefly, I am not a fan of bioweapons. My opinions on the issue are basically in line with the arguments against biological warfare. The simple reason is that they are too dangerous in almost every way. They are dangerous in the fact that they can spread and infect non-targeted personnel They are dangerous also because they are cheap and relatively easily obtained so anyone with decent scientific knowledge will be able to get hold of them or grow them. They are dangerous because they can easily get out of control.
In a perfect world, bio-weapons would be banned and all countries would have signed the BTWC (Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention).

Biological weapons in my opinion are unnecessary. From a war perspective they're great because the more weapons the better, and the more destructive they are the better. However from a humanitarian perspective, biological weapons just add to the problem of war and destruction and do nothing to fix it. I'm most definitely not a supporter of war, thus not a supporter of biological warfare. We already have enough weapons ranging from small guns to atomic bombs, biological weapons are simply an unwelcome addition.
Also, we don't want to start a bio-war. This is extremely extremely unlikely given how many nations have signed to the BWC however if for some reason it does occur, it could be responsible for mass epidemics and the deaths of a large percentage of the human race, tree species and animals.
