Here ia another thread, different article, on same issue: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2812692/posts
But, if you make a weapon that is deadly and kills quickly; it can easily be defeated by Quarintine. If it spreads and kills slowly, then the enemy has time to devise a vaccination - or respond militarily (ie. nuke).
Since this research is theoretically banned, I question as to whether this is really going on - and if so, why is it being tolerated? Secondly, any country breaking international treaties in this manner has to be prepared for a break-out, should an accident happen; thus have prepared an ample supply of an effective treatment. If your army is sick/dying; it's hard to defeat a sick and desperate opposing force (they have nothing left to lose, as they are dying anyway).
All it takes is a pre-emptive strike - and the developing nation will find itself coated with a weaponized cloud of 'nastiness' - impliment a down-wind quarintine against the offending country; and the problem will 'fix itself'.
Statism, we know too much about it already.
It’s just a matter of time before it’s released.
Why make a civ killing virus if you don’t intend to use it?
Anthrax isn’t all that scary anyway.
The Great Filter theory tries to explain why there is no evidence of extraterrestrials. Advanced civilizations reach a point where wiping themselves out is unavoidable.
“Perhaps the most likely type of existential risks that could constitute a
Great Filter are those that arise from technological discovery. It is not farfetched to
suppose that there might be some possible technology which is such that (a) virtually all
sufficiently advanced civilizations eventually discover it and (b) its discovery leads
almost universally to existential disaster”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Gee, are we close to the realization of the statement: “ Except those days be shortened, no flesh will be saved” ?
As if we needed any more evidence that the State is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
The ultimate in late term abortion and population control.

Just wait’ll this one gets out of the lab.
PING!
