Opinions about biological warfare being a legitimate use of science will differ. It is my opinion that using science to hurt and destroy human beings, animals, the environment or anything at all is NEVER a legitimate use of science.
yesANS 2 - NO. biological warfare is a perversion of science and many scientists agree on that.
Biochemical Warfare is war using weapons of a biological or chemical nature. such as biotoxins. Anthrax bombs are a good example of bichemical weapons. To use weapons of mass distruction.
yes they spread small pox among the native people
When biological weapons have been used the outcome has been massive death and biological destruction. It affects all things in the area used. When Hessian used biological weapons against his people whole populations died. Since it is biological it stays in the environment and can mutate so it has been agreed not to use them.
No. During that war it was US doctrine to utilize chemical warfare only for retaliation; the US would not use it first. Biological warfare was not US doctrine. Not to be used. The US reserved the right to "first strike" with nuclear weapons.

Even though there is no legitimate reason, the primary reason that countries want to use biological warfare is because it is extremely hard to stop bacteria, while you can just blow up a missile in its tracks if it is coming towards the country. It is virtually impossible to stop viruses and deadly bacteria, since fighting bacteria and viruses takes months, while blowing up a missile coming towards a country is only a few minutes away.

Over the history of warfare, the plague is probably the most commonly used form of biological warfare. There are two reasons most people wouldn't use it now - it's easy to treat with antibiotics, and every army vaccinates its soldiers against it.
Biotechnology is the field that applies science to the production of biological products. It involves the use of living organisms or their systems to develop products in areas such as agriculture, medicine, and industry.
Mycotoxins are a group of toxins produced by molds. While they can cause sickness and cancer, they are not potent enough to be used in biological warfare. Mycotoxins are extremely weak compared to biological warfare agents such as sarin and VX.
U.S. policy prohibits the research, development, production, stockpiling, and acquisition of biological agents that could be used for offensive biological warfare. This is primarily governed by the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), an international treaty aimed at preventing the use of biological weapons. The U.S. also implements strict regulations and oversight through agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure compliance and safety in handling biological materials for legitimate purposes. Such policies are designed to protect public health and security while promoting responsible scientific research.

Yes, nutrition is a biological science that involves the study of how organisms obtain and use nutrients in their diet to support growth, maintenance, and health. It encompasses the various biochemical processes involved in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients in the body.
