>Is this not rather worrying?  A tool like this in the wrong hands could
perhaps have devastating consequences?

Absolutely!  Look what the technology of agriculture, as opposed to
hunter/gathering, did--the devastation of the Earth by human beings.

As have the technologies of washing one's hands, clean drinking water, and
immunization--resulting in human overpopulation due to the decreased normal
and natural mortality of human beings.

Best to avoid new technologies, and go back to hunter/gathering, allow the
human population to crash back to its natural level.  Pollution and habitat
destruction would be solved, as well as any anthropogenic global warming.
 Endangered species would rebound.  The Earth would be far healthier.
