Ethics certainly should guide us in technology. After all, technology is only as good as what it's used for. Technology has brought us amazing things, but destructive things as well.
The problem with the Pope's message is that he (as well as most on the religious right) are stifling research on technology that poses great hope for humans (like stem cells) while he mentions other things (like arms proliferation) as secondary concerns.
The Pope is disingenuous and is arguing against technology only to suit his own RW ideaology. That's why most of us here don't trust him in any way.
