Oh for God's sake - what exactly does science, as a pure intellectual discipline, have to do with specific applications of science? Fuck all, that's what. As a case in point, the Einstein/bomb thing is one of the biggest white elephants in the history of science.
Scientists, being people, can be moral or immoral as their personal character dictates. Science itself is inherently amoral, just as the field of ethics takes no particular stance on atomic theory.
Because science can be used for good or evil, it is hardly the case that it is ALWAYS NEUTRAL to practice science.
