Description
"You're an engineer, Carlos," Daniel said. "You understand that technology knows no bounds. With modern weapons if a human target standing on a street corner can be seen from a satellite, then someone six thousand miles away can press a red button and, hey presto, the problem is solved. Gone in a flash with pinpoint accuracy.
"Biological weapons are different but there has never been a shortage of agents to choose from. Drug resistant bacteria or genetically modified viruses like Ebola, Marburg, Dengue, Kyasanur Forest Disease or the deadly Nipah virus could all be carried to their target in swarms of genetically modified mosquitoes, flies or ticks.
"The problem with biological weapons has always been accurate targeting. They are indiscriminate and there's always the risk of lethal bugs mutating further or escaping the lab, spreading like wildfire and killing the innocent or, indeed, the creator himself. The solution, of course, lies in technology or a completely different strategy."
