There is no scientific knowledge or technological application that does not have a "dual use" for good and for evil, construction and destruction, saving lives and ending lives. It is a delusion to believe so; and one based on the assumption, by the way, that scientists are superhuman robots that blindly conduct research without thinking of the consequences, but also without any reason to try to cause a specific consequence. Wake the F up! It was the very scientists involved in the American atomic bomb who passed the info east to build the Soviet atomic bomb. Not any NKVD spy infiltrating or otherwise "illegally" accessing info. And that was still an altruistic motive - further assuming no selfish motives is frankly asking for disaster.
