摘要

S. Gopal, a discussion moderator, asked why terrorists should resort to bioterrorism against humans, animals, and plants. First, the advantage of bioterrorism is its cost-effectiveness compared with other forms of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In one study the cost per casualty was assessed to be $2,800 for atomic weapons and $600 for conventional and chemical weapons, whereas the same study assessed the cost per casualty of using biological toxins and bioterrorism to be about $1. Another study says that, when delivered properly, the quantity of butolinum toxin needed to kill 10 people is as small as a dot of an "i". If this is so, obviously there is a tremendous advantage to bioterrorism, which is sometimes called the poor man's atomic bomb. Second, bioterrorist weapons are easy to produce. Again, according to one study, a biological arsenal could perhaps be built with $10,000 worth of equipment in a 15' x 15' room with gear no more sophisticated than a fermenter and a protein-based culture, and to protect the producer, a gas mask.
