For you to create diesease you first would need to either create or alter an existing plethera of bacteria(Millions upon millions) almost the entire sum of those would die in the time it takes you to figure out what to do. Now you are at the point of doing it and even more are dying. You some how strike a miracle and alter the bacteria. You now have maybe a thousand seed bactrium, you now have to find someone who's keys fit into that of the bacteria for it to actually begin the attack, You take a risk and somehow you do not lose the rest of your group and the person is sick. You now have to hope he does not realise he is sick and contains himself. X_X ,Things that are wrong in ur reasoning:

if you leave a single bacterium in suitable conditions, it can reproduce millions in just a week. Therefore according to what you said, say in 4-5 weeks there will be 1 successful sample, if this sample is allowed to culture, and grow. you can mass produce it. Now if what you say is possible then the rate at which new "disease" would be way higher then what it currently is and most of the world pop would have died by now >_>)

Secondly, what does this mean? > "you now have to find someone who's keys fit into that of the bacteria" i find this reasoning of urs illogical, there is no "lock and key" (and even if by chance you are immune to it, you will 1 in a billion, yes that's implying there will only be about 7-8 ppl in the world. (though for some there r many more).
