In the Monkey's Paw why does Major Morris throw the monkey's paw into the fire and why do the Whites react so strongly?

Major Morris throws the monkey's paw into the fire to try to keep anyone else from suffering because of it. He had kept it after using it, but now wants to destroy it, so that no one else would tempt fate by using powers beyond their control. White grabs it from the fire, and later uses it, to his lasting sorrow. (see the story at the related link)

In the short story The Monkey's Paw why do the Whites react so strongly to major Morris throwing the paw onto the fire?

Eveyone can be tempted by the lure of having their wishes granted, and Mr. White (although skeptical) does not want the paw destroyed before he can see if it works. Morris, having used the paw, says he kept it to possibly sell it. But the implication is that he kept it to remind himself that men should not tamper with powers they cannot control.
