Can you design a knife that does not kill so that nobody can say “I didn’t kill, it’s the knife!”? It’s a bit presumptuous for designers to think that people care. You design a car, and people die driving it because they go too fast. But we all want faster cars. Designers are the wrong persons to ask a question about ethic to. I wondered who responded with "It’s a bit presumptuous for designers to think...Designers are the wrong persons to ask a question about ethic to." (shown above). Hello,
