Best Answer

A scientist cannot be made responsible for his discoveries anymore than an explorer can be made responsible for his discoveries. In both cases the thing discovered was always there, it just needed someone to find it. Also if that scientist or explorer chose to withhold his/her discovery for fear of what might come of it, there is nothing to keep another person from discovering it too.
