The use of bioweapons poses a multitude of risks. Firstly, the unpredictability of biological agents means that once released, they can spread uncontrollably, potentially leading to global pandemics. Secondly, the lack of specificity means that bioweapons may not differentiate between combatants and civilians, resulting in widespread collateral damage. Lastly, the nature of biological agents allows them to be used covertly, complicating detection and response efforts.
