If we could abolish something we dislike by refusing it an "official" source of funding, we wouldn't have an illegal drug trade. Clearly, that isn't the case.

If we could abolish something we dislike by refusing it an "official" source of funding, we wouldn't have an illegal drug trade. Clearly, that isn't the case. There's no Fortune 500 companies selling heroin, yet heroin suppliers get capital somewhere to run production facilities. If the demand stays the same, it will get funded somehow, because there's profit to be made. I can respect the decision of any investor to not be a part of something they find morally repugnant, but let's not pretend like that's going to cause the demand for the morally repugnant thing to disappear.
