Would you design a (small) bomb for 2 billion dollars?

  Yes. But I'd donate half of it to starving African children or other people (more than could be killed with my bomb) in desperate need. Besides, a person who designs a weapon isn't really responsible for what happens when someone uses it to kill people.

    That last sentence sounds ethically dubious. A knife has many uses so is arguably neutral but a bomb? Enabling other people to do harm implies culpability.

      Enabling other people to do harm implies culpability. Guess I'd better not vote and put someone in power anymore then, or pay taxes which may go on military spending.

    And if your bomb was detonated during the Nobel award ceremony, or at a TED conference, killing a few brilliant minds who could save a hundred times as many children?
