I believe that there are some fields that are to be closed for further research. At least till humanity grows up in terms of values and priorities and learns "to handle with care" the results which are likely to be obtained.
Yet scientists can't be held blameless in what governments do with their discoveries and inventions. Otherwise it will sound like: "I invented the nuclear bomb. I deserve a Nobel prize. Who cares what will happen to the bomb next".
