Can anybody think of any technology that could not be deployed...
...in an immoral manner? I can't.

Rocks: Used to build shelter. Can also be used to kill someone.

Fire: Used to keep warm and cook food. Also used for incinerating people.

Knives: Used for eating. Can also be used to kill someone.

Cell Phones: Instant communications in emergencies. Can also be used for remote-control bombs.

Nuclear Energy: Can be used to create carbon-free electricity. Can also be used for bombs.

The list is without end.

This is a silly debate. If this becomes your obsession, then the logical outcome can only by suicide.
