If you could make an axe or a match that couldn’t hurt people, then obviously, yes, you’d do that.
We haven’t before now had the technology to do that in a way that wouldn’t violate other rights, but the technology is shifting in such a way that there are domains where we will have that ability and of course we should do it.
The only reason anybody objects to this is because, again, we used to live in a world where you’d have to do something objectionable to achieve these goals, but as that becomes less true the objections will seem increasingly absurd.
Our intuitions in this space lag reality.
