Gain of function research seems like bio weapons research to me.
As opposed to military weapons? You do know all the countries with remotely any power in the world put a fuckton of money into military power, right?
The difference is that bioweapons are directed at everyone not just the enemy military. As such its definitely a violation of civilized warfare. Good luck aiming a virus at someone like you do a gun without getting bystanders involved.
What do you think nukes are? Just because we don't see them, doesn't mean that there are arsenals waiting to release them.
