Nowadays, the Science has made a lot of new progress in technological terms, biology in special.
We found a lot of secrets about our lives and in general manipulation of cells, bacteria, virus.... that were buried until now.
The requirements of a Bio Weapon to be effective are:
-Have a high mortality and infectiousness.
- Be less noticeable and less propense to have a cure.
-A pathogen that has the ability to mutate a lot of times in a very shor period of time.
- It must be a fast killer that after killing the infected disappears without leaving evidence behind.
Those requirements in present days can be asequible through biotechnology , manipulation of the DNA of viruses/bacterias or even Prions ( complex proteins that are hard to notice and cause a lot of damage by accumulation in cells). For example, if we chose Ebola for the base of our pathogen, and we then introduce Yersinia Pestis's DNA , Grip A, and the common flu..... we could make a global pathogen that kills fast and spreads through air making more agressive this pathogen than it is.
I wouldn't doubt that one of the posible things that will end our world could be one of those Bio- Weapon created in underground high-security facilities. Accidentally taken out or on purpose.
