It is morally justified to purge, (annihilate) a city with a level 4 infection outbreak.

For some clarification i will define the following terms. Moral- Founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations. Justified- Having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason Annihilate- "total destruction" or "complete obliteration" of an object or place. Level 4 outbreak- This level is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Smallpox, and other various hemorrhagic diseases. My method of purging an infected city a presented by my case will be the use of a thermobaric weapon, which includes the type known as a "fuel-air bomb", is an explosive weapon that produces a blast wave of a significantly longer duration than those produced by condensed explosives. Thermobaric explosives rely on oxygen from the surrounding air, whereas most conventional explosives consist of a fuel-oxygen premix (for instance, gunpowder contains 15% fuel and 75% oxidizer). Thus, on a weight-for-weight basis they are significantly more energetic than normal condensed explosives. This is extremely effective when dealing with a airborne virus because, the said oxygen bombs suck in all oxygen within a 50 to 100 mile radius (depending on the strength of the bomb) and incinerates said oxygen, including the pathogens that preside in the air such as the Ebola, Lassa, and other viruses mentioned. I will base my case on a Teleological standpoint whereas "The ends justify the means". This is an important aspect of the round because through out my case i will prove that in the end we are saving more lives then we are ending. C1: The multiplication complex. Person A contracts the Ebola strain. Person A infects Person B Person A and B infects Person C and Person D Person A, B, C, and D, infects Person E, F, G, and H I will stop there, but as you can see the rather "slippery slope" infection can take. A city can be overrun with a life threatening virus within a week, and there is no cure. Not only is it moral to spare innocent people painful bloody death brought on by these viruses, a state is justified in doing so, because in the end, it could mean the difference between an outbreak, to a nationwide epidemic. C2: The Black Death The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, an argument supported by recent forensic research, although this view has been challenged by a number of scholars. Thought to have started in China, it traveled along the Silk Road and had reached the Crimea by 1346. From there, probably carried by Oriental rat fleas residing on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population,[1] reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as having created a series of religious, social and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, killing more people, until it left Europe in the 19th century. Saying we didn't purge an infected city, what then? I'm not going out on a limb and saying that the exact same thing will happen, but is entirely possible. And since there is no given cure at this point in time. It makes these viruses that much more of a threat. . http://www.militaryfactory.com... . http://www.who.int...
