Biosecurity is set to keep a close eye on biological agents that can be used as weapons of war as well as protect humans from said agents (Mandal 2014). Over time, biosecurity

Tucker Beaudoin HTY 278 Online Essay January 18, 2015 Biological Warfare A biological weapon is defined as “any of a number of disease-producing agents, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins, that may be utilized as weapons against humans, animals or plants.” (Britannica Online Encyclopedia). As far back as the American Civil War, allegations have been made regarding the use of biological weapons. During the Civil War, both sides accused the other of using the smallpox virus to cause disease

cause of sexual orientation; however, two opposing sides have formed around the issue: nature (inherited genes and biology) versus nurture (the environment). Proponents of nature argue sexual orientation is biological and genetic; whereas proponents of nurture argue sexual orientation is non-biological, environmental, and socially constructed. According to the American Psychological Association, sexual orientation is not a choice; instead “…it emerges from most people in early adolescence with no prior

post whose eyes drooped and arms rotted. The noise flew past a few soldiers loading a biological weapon into a plane. The scream landed upon the ears of a scientist who stood inches away from that horrible cry, and continued his work, uncaring of a heart beating at his fingertips. He was the sole spectator and sole perpetrator of this person’s death through live dissection. This was what happened in Japan’s biological warfare experimental camp from 1935 to 1945. The camp was made possible by the Manchurian

Bioterrorism across the world has been prevalent throughout history, all the way up to present day. Is the use of biological agents in war a useful weapon or an epidemic creator? This question has been asked among scientists and ethicists since the introduction of biological agents into the war field. One of the most well-known bioterrorist attacks was the anthrax attacks of 2001 (NPR). These attacks, in relation with the September 11 attacks, consisted of envelopes containing a letter that had the

Bioterrorism presents a very unique threat to the United States. A biological attack can be hard to immediately detect and poses many collection challenges to the Intelligence Community. A small vial of anthrax can go undetected in the pocket of an individual through an airport, government facility, or one of the many other areas that usually have significant security designed to prevent conventional terrorist attacks. A small amount of a biological agent can do a significant amount of damage. How can the

have taken the idea to the extreme. So extreme that it was even banned at the end of World War 1 at the Geneva Convention. The topic is Biological Warfare. This type of warfare uses toxins or contagious agents instead of using guns and explosives. Toxins and agents such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. All of them are different things and have different effects but all have the same goal, and that is to disable or kill humans, animals, and plants to win the war. This warfare is cruel and inhumane

The Rajneeshee cult delivered an attack on a small Oregon community in order to attempt to sway a political vote. This attack used a biological agent to carry out its intended purpose. This attack was clearly an act of terrorism since the attack on civilians was used in order to sway a political outcome. The Rajneeshee used a biological weapon in the form of salmonella. The commune actually created the salmonella in a laboratory. The Rajneeshee were to use this on the people of the town in order

War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” (Albert Einstein). For centuries people have been using biological and chemical warfare, but no person could’ve predicted what it has become today, except possibly Albert Einstein. His famous quoted stated above, is what will happen if we continue to develop these weapons of mass destruction. Our civilization will be reduced to nothing. Biological and chemical weapons have been some of the most feared methods of destruction since their primary introduction

Chemical and Biological Weapons Chemical and biological weapons are the most dangerous threats that our soldiers face today. But just how much do most of us know about them? The American public had been bombarded by stories of how our government keeps secret weapons, does secret experiments, and the everlasting conspiracies. And many accept it all. Rather than simply trusting our government, (which is perhaps as foolish as believing several unsubstansiated theroies), I’ve compiled several simple
