Although it is theoretically possible to make animals more aggressive through genetic modification and use them for military purposes, it faces many ethical, legal, and technical challenges in practice. The following is a detailed analysis of this problem： ### 1. **Technical feasibility** - **Genetic modification technology**: Modern gene editing technologies (such as CRISPR-Cas9) have been able to accurately modify biological genes, which in theory can enhance certain characteristics of animals, including aggressiveness, strength or endurance. -**Control and training**: Even if the aggressiveness of animals is enhanced by genetic modification, how to effectively control these animals and use them in military operations is still a huge challenge. Animals may not be able to distinguish between friends and foes, or show unpredictable behavior on the battlefield. ### 2. **Ethical issues** -**Animal welfare**: Using animals for military purposes may cause them great pain and harm, which is contrary to the basic principles of animal welfare. -**Humanitarian**: The use of animals as weapons may be considered inhumane, especially if these animals may suffer unnecessary suffering or death. ### 3. **Laws and treaties** -**International law**: According to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), the use of biological weapons (including genetically modified organisms) is prohibited. Although the convention is mainly aimed at microorganisms, its principles may also apply to genetically modified animals. -**Domestic law**: Many countries have strict laws and regulations restricting the application of genetic modification technology, especially when it involves military use. ### 4. **Strategy and practicality** -**Unpredictability**: Even if technically feasible, the use of genetically modified animals as weapons may have unpredictable consequences, including potential effects on the environment and ecosystems. -**Alternatives**: Modern military technology has developed many more effective and controllable weapon systems, and the practicality and necessity of genetically modified animals as weapons are doubtful. ### 5. **Public opinion** - **Moral condemnation**: The use of genetically modified animals as weapons may cause strong public opposition and moral condemnation, which will have a negative impact on the international image and reputation of the perpetrator. ### Conclusion Although it is technically possible to make animals more aggressive and use them for military purposes through genetic modification, this approach faces huge ethical, legal, and strategic challenges. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that this approach will be widely adopted or legalized in reality. On the contrary, the international community is more inclined to adopt legal and ethical frameworks to limit the abuse of such technologies to ensure that scientific and technological progress is used for peaceful and humane purposes.
