I think choosing to accept an offer to work for Google in the last decade is worthy of a conversation of its own but this is far better than quitting and being replaced by someone with no ethics is it not?

Is that the line of thinking that Manhattan Project scientists had, or am mistaken? I can't speak for others, but I'd carry a lot of guilt for aiding in such things. It's unethical to help with unethical things, and Google will do what it wants; it can replace them if they don't follow its will.
