It not the technology that concerns me, it’s the morality of the people who use it since as a practical matter restricting a certain line of research in one country will not stop it in another.
That may sound like a reliance on a rather thin thread and it is, I suppose, since given enough money even the crazies can purchase nearly any technology around. And...all those university grad students seriously toiling away for years will want to apply their hard won knowledge somewhere for someone doing something.

While that's true, you don't stop restricting it because others aren't.

Someone has to stand up for what's right somewhere.
