Another Podcast

I found another Podcast regarding Biological Warfare. This one is called "Just War Theory & Chemical/Biological Weapons" by Professor Larry May. This podcast is 1 hour 16 minutes long. It discusses the rules of war and how you determine what is banned and what is not. The point that it is making is that we have allowed killing but not using biological weapons. Professor Larry May says that there are gray lines and it is hard to determine what is wrong. He brings up the difference between poisoning water supplies and mining harbors and poisoning water supplies is the only one banned. One could argue that poisoning the water supplies is devistating to the population invovled but so is mining harbors because it cuts off the food supplies to the population. With this you could also say that mining harbors is worse because it would lead to a slow death rather than a quick death.
