One disturbing thing about is if something is potentially dangerous it does not cause the scientists to pause about taking then risk.

When they prepared to fire the first atomic bomb they wondered if such an explosion might set off a chain reaction that would destroy all life. While that did not happen, it would continue to harm people down wind with radiation exposure.

Note how rarely scientists consider if any harm comes to humans from their latest developments, and not just from weapon developments. Harm includes addiction.
