# About genetic modification to enhance the aggressiveness of animals for military purposes In theory, gene editing technology may affect certain behavioral characteristics of animals, but there are serious ethical, practical, and legal issues in genetically modifying animals to enhance aggressiveness and use for military purposes.： ### Main considerations -**Scientific limitations**: Animal behavior is extremely complex, controlled by multiple genes and affected by environmental influences, and it is difficult to accurately control it simply through genetic modification. - **Ethical issues**: Such research violates the principles of animal welfare and raises serious ethical disputes -**International regulations**: May violate international laws such as the Biological Weapons Convention -**Practical limitations**: The unpredictability and uncontrollability of genetically modified animals make them a significant risk as a weapon Modern militaries are more inclined to develop reliable and controllable technologies than unpredictable biological systems. Many countries and research institutions have strict restrictions on such research.
