So essentially you’re asking would I want the Wright brothers aborted because some Muslims lunatics would crash their inventions into buildings?
Would I wish Thomas Edison aborted because people would use his cameras to make kiddie porn?
Or, more to your most recent foolishness, would I prefer Lord Rutherford not to have lived because one of the offshoots of his vast collection of work is nuclear weapons?
No, Rosie, I categorically Do Not. Nor should anyone else. These were great minds, so unlike yours, perhaps therein lies your problem.
In the wrong hands any creation can be purposed for ill. Much like you on this site.

Inventions are not evil, but they can be used for evil purposes. Also, many inventions are not the product of a single person and/or many inventions were thought up by multiple persons and only one gets the acknowledgement for it.
