Even if they do this type of research and don't release it to the public, you can bet nations states already are doing the same research in private, and using it against whoever they want.
Better to have this in the public eye, than to be too scared to carry out the research in fear of others abusing it. because whether the research is done publicly or not, the "bad guys" are probably doing it in private.
