We as a human society have decided through law that acts such as robbery, stalking, rape or terrorism are illegal.

"Improvement in itself is morally neutral."

Not if improvement results from making an informed decision.

In order to make a decision you have to have a moral compass to decide between what is right and what is wrong, or?

Some societies have decided terrorism is a moral imperative.

I don't think there is any prerequisite for decision-making.

I lost the red hmm thread ? But yah, Saudis Arabia proves, that in improvements in itselves doesn't lie a morality. The morality you can decypher from, is how it is used.
Like someone invented a hammes for putting a nail into the wall, and on the other side, someone invented a hammer to smash somethings head. (do things have heads?)
The improvement in itself can not be morally valuated, only the useage of it.
The improvement is a magnifier/multiplier of the user's morality in acting, as every tool is.

I just think morality lies in value, be it formed through individual or cultural conditioning.
