Spill the Beans (Score 1)

If the inventor is truly unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences of the 'invented' by releasing it during his/her lifetime, then the device should never be released and should be un-made with all the ingenuity that went into its initial manifestation. Otherwise, the reluctant genius must work up the courage and step forward. It is not always easy to bear the attentions of the world, but it is merely one of the many challenges any person must face if they are to enact great change upon the times in which they live. As for those in the past who had courage such that they could fully bear the challenge that their brilliance laid before them, they have my thanks, empathy, and deep admiration. I, for one, am more than ready to go off into the galaxy in one of those 'build-it-yourself' kit-starships. :)
