Draft for comment: Towards a philosophy of safety

If and when it makes sense to halt or ban R&D, the ban should be either narrow or temporary.

I think the counterexample of nuclear engineering is instructive. It was not halted, but remains heavily regulated internationally, and for that reason, progress in nuclear power has been greatly slowed - but so has proliferation.
