One of the most horrific biological weapons would be the person, who delivers the organism but staying wealthy self. In those cases, some kind of retrovirus could be used to connect some kind of infectious genome in the human DNA. And that organism can transform the blood or some other things extreme poisonous. One of the most interesting ideas is to modify the immune system of a human to make the killing viruses.
And in that case, the idea is to modify the human genomes in that way, that those viruses would not cause symptoms in the person, who is immune to those organisms. But the most interesting thing is to modify the blood cells like the creation of the viruses begin after death, and that would cause very bad destruction if the field of the enemy. That kind of things might deny killing or torturing the imprisoned soldiers. Because if the killing organism would be released in the area, would that cause death for many men.
Modifying the genomes of the military personnel would be a very attractive thing. By using retroviruses would be possible to make the military men, who are resistant for the nerve gases and many diseases, like filoviruses and harmful bacteria. This opens the new lines to use biological weapons, what might be camouflaged as the natural epidemics, or even the famine, what seems like a natural. The horrifying vision to cause the famine by using biological weapons would happen by creating the virus, what destroys bacteria layer in the stomach, what denies the infected person to take nutrients from the food, and even if they would get enough food, they would die in hunger.
Those modifications might be visible and cause discussion about the ethics of the military personnel, but when we are going a little bit farther we must realize, that if we would have very advanced biotechnology in use, we might whip off those genetic modifications after the operation by using genome therapy. And if we would have high-tech laboratories in use, we might modify the genomes as the way we want. And this makes possible to change identities of the personnel, that even themselves is impossible to prove, that they have been in some military action.
