Poll + debate: The motion I am putting forward is that:

"Technology can never destroy humanity except in science fiction novels born out of fear and ignorance. It is the lack of technology that presents us with a real danger. A danger of helplessness and a lack of understanding. The fear of technological misuse can not be justified both historically nor theoretically. The mathematical benefits of having defensive capability for mankind far out weighs the irrational fears for abuse of such advancements."
