The developmental trends in biological sciences indicate there is a plethora of possibilities concerning the study of microorganisms and its applicability in creating the next generation of biological warfare agents. Both historical and recent events show the potentially devastating effect of using biological warfare agents and the terror they cause among the populace. Even more alarming is that the exponential growth in biotechnology could transform the conventional biological warfare agents into a much more lethal bioweapon using genetically engineered pathogens. Nations, groups, and individuals that have the resources, capabilities, and knowledge to develop this biotechnology in the year 2035 will have the global arms race advantage.
