Enough about nukes. While nukes are important in that they are deadly weapons, we must not focus all of our attention to them. We can't forget bio-terrorism, where people launch attacks using biological weapons. I'm talking deadly diseases and viruses. Let's not forgot that no one will be safe from bio-terrorism because they are so hard to protect against. Many diseases are airborne, so as soon as they are released, saving everyone will be hard.
We can take a contemporary example. In the show Gotham, the city of gotham is seemingly wiped out by the Alice Tetch virus that infects almost everyone. This made everyone turn insane na dthe city was torn apart. Though Hugo Strange developed an antidote that eventually cured the people, it still shows how devastating these bio-weapons can be. Imagine if a rogue terrorist group were to suddenly acquire an array of dangerous pathogens. 
We must take appropriate measure to ensure that no one will get their hands on these terrible weapons. Just about every dangerous pathogen is stored at the CDC in Atlanta, which makes it extremely important for the place to be secured.
We can take additional steps to prevent bio-terrorism. We have to ensure that live cultures are safely stored away and not just in one place like at the CDC. If you think unleashing nuclear weapons is unethical, think of how unethical biological weapons would be. It's just so much more difficult to cure people, and we also have to worry about them spreading. Radiation will only travel for a certain distance, but once a virus is unleashed, there is no way to contain it, and people who the weapon did not mean to target may be affected.
this is a nice article to read about
